Aircraft and wind turbines are two examples of machines for which viscous friction drag has a profound influence on the performance. Consequently, the reduction of friction drag is an …
The present work describes a method for the computation of the nucleation rate of turbulent spots in transitional boundary layers from particle image velocimetry (PIV) measurements …
This thesis numerically investigates the laminar-to-turbulent transition in boundary-layer flows on natural laminar flow airfoils under oscillating inflow conditions. Large-scale …
