Zoppini, G. (author), Michelis, Theodorus (author), Ragni, D. (author), Kotsonis, M. (author)This work presents the first experimental characterization of the flow field in the vicinity of periodically spaced discrete roughness elements (DRE) in a swept wing boundary layer. The time-averaged velocity fields are acquired in a volumetric domain by high-resolution dual-pulse tomographic particle tracking velocimetry. Investigation of...journal article 2023

Castellanos, Rodrigo (author), Michelis, Theodorus (author), Discetti, Stefano (author), Ianiro, Andrea (author), Kotsonis, M. (author)The effect of streamwise plasma vortex generators on the convective heat transfer of a turbulent boundary layer is experimentally investigated. A Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) plasma-actuator array is employed to promote pairs of counter-rotating, streamwise-aligned vortices embedded in a well-behaved turbulent boundary layer over a flat...journal article 2022

Michelis, Theodorus (author), Yarusevych, S. (author), Kotsonis, M. (author)This work investigates the three-dimensional, spatio-Temporal flow development in the aft portion of a laminar separation bubble. The bubble is forming on a flat plate geometry, subjected to an adverse pressure gradient, featuring maximum reverse flow of approximately 2Â % of the local free-stream velocity. Time-resolved velocity measurements...journal article 2018

Michelis, Theodorus (author)The research presented in this thesis focuses on boundary layer separation and, more specifically, on the related physical mechanisms, such as laminar to turbulent transition, with a vision towards effective separation control. The work is divided in three parts, each corresponding to a different separation scenario. The supporting data is...doctoral thesis 2017

Michelis, Theodorus (author), Yarusevych, S. (author), Kotsonis, M. (author)The spatial and temporal response characteristics of a laminar separation bubble to impulsive forcing are investigated by means of time-resolved particle image velocimetry and linear stability theory. A two-dimensional impulsive disturbance is introduced with an alternating current dielectric barrier discharge plasma actuator, exciting...journal article 2017
