Learn what boundary layer separation and transition are, why they occur, how to measure them, and how to prevent or mitigate them in mechanical design. Skip to main content LinkedIn.

To model boundary layer transition effects on aircraft, you need to use software tools that can handle the geometry, the mesh, the solver, and the post-processing of the problem.

However, multiple factors—including vehicle shape, speed, and altitude—make identifying boundary layer transition extremely difficult. After being awarded a research grant from the Air Force Office of ...

Boundary layer transition and turbulence modelling represent central challenges in fluid dynamics, with profound implications for the design and performance of aerospace, automotive, and energy ...
