A proposed model of the bursting process in turbulent boundary layers
G. R. Offen,Stephen J. Kline +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a model is proposed which attempts to explain the complete "burst cycle" by viewing the wall streak as a sub-boundary layer, within the conventionally defined boundary layer, and the lift-up stage of bursting either as an upwelling motion of this sub-body which is similar to a local, convected separation or, equivalently, as the consequence of a vortex roll-up.
Journal ArticleDOI
Combined dye-streak and hydrogen-bubble visual observations of a turbulent boundary layer
G. R. Offen,Stephen J. Kline +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the turbulent boundary layer over a flat plate was observed visually using two dye injectors and a normal bubble wire, and it was shown that each lift-up is associated with a disturbance which originates in the logarithmic region and is characterized by a mean motion towards the wall.
