Journal ArticleDOI
The ‘bursting’ phenomenon in a turbulent boundary layer
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a hot wire in a turbulent boundary layer in air to measure the frequent periods of activity (to be called "bursts") noticed in turbulent signal that has been passed through a narrow band-pass filter.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the criteria for reverse transition in a two-dimensional boundary layer flow
M. A. Badri Narayanan,V. Ramjee +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured mean velocity profiles, longitudinal velocity fluctuations and the wall shearing stress (TW) in two-dimensional accelerated incompressible turbulent boundary layers and found that the wall region adjusts itself to laminar conditions earlier than the outer region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Similarities in Pressure Distribution in Separated Flow Behind Backward-Facing Steps
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the static pressure distribution in the separated flow region behind backward-facing steps in a wind tunnel, suitable corrections were applied for the model blockage, which indicated a reasonably well defined similarity in the pressure distribution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experiments on the fine structure of turbulence
TL;DR: In this article, the fine-scale structure of turbulence in grid flows, in boundary layers in a zero pressure gradient and in a boundary layer in a strong favourable pressure gradient leading to relaminarization was analyzed using a variable discriminator level technique.
Journal ArticleDOI
An experimental study of reverse transition in two-dimensional channel flow
TL;DR: In this article, the reverse transition from turbulent to laminar flow in a two-dimensional channel was carried out, where Reynolds number of an initially turbulent flow was reduced below a certain value by widening the duct in the lateral direction.
