In a complementary approach, thermal and laminar flow over rotating spheroids has been explored, revealing how changes in body geometry affect convection and conduction within the boundary layer ...

A laminar boundary layer has less momentum near the wall than a turbulent boundary layer, as shown in figure 4, because turbulence is a very effective mixing process. More importantly, turbulent ...

The theory of compressible flow in a laminar boundary layer has been developed for the case when the viscosity is assumed to be proportional to the absolute temperature and the Prandtl number is unity ...

Although the number of possible applications of boundary-layer control is large, a discussion is given only of those that have received the most attention recently at NASA Langley Research Center to ...

Surface temperature distributions and heat transfer on test bodies can be determined with the help of temperature sensitive paint (TSP), which is a well known method for two-dimensional temperature ...
