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

Turbulent transport of heat and momentum in a boundary layer subject to deceleration, suction and variable wall temperature
TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between the turbulent transport of heat and momentum in an adverse pressure gradient boundary layer was studied, and the superposition principle was used to accurately predict the Stanton number variation for two cases of arbitrarily varying wall temperature.

Computation of Wall-Pressure Spectra from Steady Flow Data for Noise Prediction
TL;DR: In this paper, a method is proposed to calculate the trailing-edge broadband noise emitted from an airfoil, based on a steady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes solution of the flowfield.

Drag reduction by means of dimpled surfaces in turbulent boundary layers
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used direct force measurements and particle image velocimetry (PIV) to investigate the drag and flow structure caused by surfaces with patterns of shallow spherical dimples with rounded edges subject to turbulent boundary layers.

Calculation of turbulent boundary layers over flat plates with different phenomenological theories of turbulence and variable turbulent prandtl number
A.T. Wassel,Ivan Catton +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, three different hypotheses representing turbulent transport are investigated: the Van Driest model of turbulence, a modified Nee-Kovasznay hypothesis and a combination of the kinetic energy of turbulence and the mixing length hypotheses.

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.

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.
