The results of an experimental investigation of a turbulent boundary layer with zero pressure gradient are presented. Measurements with the hot-wire anemometer were made of turbulent energy and turbulent shear stress, probability density and flattening factor of u-fluctuation (fluctuation in x-direction), spectra of turbulent energy and shear stress, and turbulent dissipation. The importance of the region near the wall and the inadequacy of the concept of local isotropy are demonstrated. Attention is given to the energy balance and the intermittent character of the outer region of the boundary layer. Also several interesting features of the spectral distribution of the turbulent motions are discussed.read more

Properties of the turbulent/non-turbulent interface in boundary layers
Guillem Borrell,Javier Jiménez +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the turbulent/non-turbulent interface is analyzed in a direct numerical simulation of a boundary layer in the range $Re_\theta=2800-6600$, with emphasis on the behaviour of the relatively large-scale fractal intermittent region.

Interaction of coherent flow structures in adverse pressure gradient turbulent boundary layers
TL;DR: In this article, time-resolved planar and volumetric flow field measurements were performed in the near-wall and log-law region of an adverse pressure gradient turbulent boundary layer following a zero pressure gradient chaotic boundary layer at a friction Reynolds number and to relate them with well known coherent flow motions near the wall.

The structure of weakly compressible grid-generated turbulence
TL;DR: In this article, a decaying compressible nearly homogeneous and nearly isotropic grid-generated turbulent flow has been set up in a large scale shock tube research facility, where experiments have been performed using instrumentation with spatial resolution of the order of 7 to 26 Kolmogorov viscous length scales.

Simultaneous measurements of temperature and velocity fluctuations in a slightly heated jet combining a cold wire and laser doppler anemometry
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed simultaneous measurements of two velocity components and temperature with LDA and cold wire thermometry, and they showed that the velocity field relaxes rather quickly (within a few nozzle diameters from the exit) to almost gaussian statistics, while the temperature properties are still significantly skewed towards the hot jet exit temperature until x/Dj about 7-8.

Velocity profile statistics in a turbulent boundary layer with slot-injected polymer
TL;DR: In this article, the modification of a flat-plate turbulent boundary layer resulting from the injection of drag-reducing polymer solutions through a narrow inclined slot into the near-wall region of the flow has been studied.

The Local Structure of Turbulence in Incompressible Viscous Fluid for Very Large Reynolds' Numbers
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the problem of finding the components of the velocity at every point of a point with rectangular cartesian coordinates x 1, x 2, x 3, x 4, x 5, x 6, x 7, x 8.
The Structure of Turbulence in Fully Developed Pipe Flow
TL;DR: In this paper, a hot-wire anemometer was used to measure the turbulent flow in a 10-inch pipe at speeds of approximately 10 and 100 feet per second, and the results include relevant mean and statistical quantities, such as Reynolds stresses, triple correlations, turbulent dissipation, and energy spectra.

Investigation of turbulent flow in a two-dimensional channel
TL;DR: A detailed exploration of the field of mean and fluctuating quantities in a two-dimensional turbulent channel flow is presented in this article, where mean speed and axial-fluctuation measurements were made well within the laminar sublayer.
Some Features of Artificially Thickened Fully Developed Turbulent Boundary Layers with Zero Pressure Gradient
P S Klebanoff,Z W Diehl +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the feasibility of artificially thickening a turbulent boundary layer on a flat plate was investigated and it was shown that it is possible to do substantial thickening and obtain a fully developed turbulent boundary layers, which is free from any distortions introduced by the thickening process.
