And boundary layer turbulence appears in all sorts of fields, from transportation to meteorology and beyond. "I think it's going to have a lot of applications," Birnir remarked.

Scientists at the University of Stuttgart's Institute of Aerodynamics and Gas Dynamics (IAG) have produced a novel dataset ...

However, turbulent boundary layer also has lower pressure drag than laminar boundary layer, because it tends to stay attached to the surface longer and create a smaller wake behind the object.

For the former research topic, a neutrally stratified boundary layer was simulated in the water-channel of the Hydraulics Laboratory of FEUP. Mean and turbulent velocities were measured through ...

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 ...

Turbulent Boundary Layer: The layer of fluid in immediate contact with a surface where turbulence intensifies momentum, heat, and mass transfer, affecting the overall flow behaviour.

Back then, two researchers ignited interest in boundary layer turbulence: German physicist Ludwig Prandtl, who has been called “ the father of modern aerodynamics,” and Theodore von Kármán ...

Significance Uncovering the constitutive coherent structure in the inner layer of the canonical turbulent boundary layer has remained a central fluid mechanics theme, because it tests our intellectual ...

However, calculating the turbulence in the planetary boundary layer, the lowest layer of the atmosphere, can be difficult due to how the presence of trees, tall buildings and other aspects of the ...
