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

An experimental determination of transition limits in a vertical natural convection flow adjacent to a surface
R. L. Mahajan,Benjamin Gebhart +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the results of an experimental investigation to determine transition mechanisms and limits in gases at high pressure levels were reported, in which both mean and disturbance quantities for the temperature and velocity fields were measured for various values of the heat flux, downstream location and ambient pressure level.
Tomographic particle image velocimetry and its application to turbulent boundary layers
TL;DR: In this article, a tomogram pair is reconstructed by means of 3D cross-correlation returning the three-component velocity vector distribution over the measurement volume, and a parametric study is carried out by to identify the most important parameters governing the experimental setup and to show their effect on the reconstruction accuracy.

Turbulence management using riblets for heat and momentum transfer
Kwing-So Choi,D.M Orchard +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, experiments were carried out in a low-speed wind tunnel to investigate the heat transfer characteristics of triangular-profiled riblet surfaces by comparing them with those of a smooth surface of an identical construction in a thermal turbulent boundary layer.

An experimental investigation of the planar turbulent wake in constant pressure gradient
TL;DR: In this article, a planar turbulent wake is generated by a flat splitter plate with tapered trailing edge, and the pressure gradients are imposed as the wake passes through a wind tunnel diffuser test section with fully adjustable top and bottom wall contours.

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.
