TLDR
The results of an experimental investigation of a turbulent boundary layer with zero-pressure gradient directed toward extending the data base at low Reynolds numbers are presented in this article, where the data obtained are concerned primarily with mean velocity distributions, skin-friction coefficients, and distributions of intensity of the longitudinal component of the turbulent velocity fluctuations for Reynolds numbers based on momentum thickness as low as 465.Abstract:
The results of an experimental investigation of a turbulent boundary layer with zero‐pressure gradient directed toward extending the data base at low Reynolds numbers are presented. The data obtained are concerned primarily with mean‐velocity distributions, skin‐friction coefficients, and distributions of intensity of the longitudinal‐component of the turbulent‐velocity fluctuations for Reynolds numbers based on momentum thickness as low as 465. The validity, at low Reynolds numbers, of the semi‐empirical laws characterizing the inner and outer regions of the boundary layer is examined.read more

Analysis of meteorological data for the Thorney Island Phase I trials
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that atmospheric conditions are frequently transitory and underlined the care that is required in taking meteorologica into account, and that the validation of dense gas dispersion models against field data requires not only examination of gas concentration data, but also accurate determinatiThe determination of atmospheric stability from vertical heat flux showed a few discrepancies with an assessment based on simple weather observations.

Wall layer microturbulence phenomenological model and a semi-markov probability predictive model for active control of turbulent boundary layers
TL;DR: In this article, a semi-Markov process is proposed for the control of microturbulent bursts in turbulent flow, where the orderly occurring micro-burst events can be considered as a semiautomaxov process.

Reynolds Number Dependence of Velocity Structure Functions in a Turbulent Pipe Flow
R. A. Antonia,B. R. Pearson +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the mean energy dissipation rate was inferred from the uspectrum after the latter was corrected for the spatial resolution of the hot-wire probes, and the corrected Kolmogorov-normalized second-order structure functions showed a continuous evolution with the Taylor microscale Reynolds number.

Modeling of the Reynolds Stress Transport Equation
Lyazid Djenidi,R. A. Antonia +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an empirical strategy for improving modeling of the energy dissipation rate e ij and the velocity-pressure gradient Π ij terms in the transport equations for the Reynolds stresses is proposed on the basis of available direct numerical simulations of the turbulent boundary layer and fully developed turbulent channel flow.

Direct Numerical Simulation of a Turbulent Boundary Layer with Passive Scalar Transport
TL;DR: In this article, a fully-resolved direct numerical simulation (DNS) of a spatially developing turbulent boundary layer with passive scalars over a flat plate under zero pressure gradient (ZPG) has been carried out using a spectral method with about 40M grid points.
