Memory Effect in a Turbulent Boundary-Layer Flow Due to a Relatively Strong Axial Variation of the Mean-Velocity Gradient

Measurements have been made of the distributions of mean velocity, turbulence intensities and turbulence shear-stress in a turbulent boundary-layer downstream of a hemi-spherical cap attached onto the plane rigid wall. The eddy-viscosity, when computed in the classical way according to Boussinesq's concept from the lateral gradient of the mean...

Contribution à la transition dans la couche limite

A l'aide de la méthode du ruban vibrant de Schubauer et Klebanoff. on a étudié expérimentalement l'évolution tridimensionnelle d'une perturbation sinusoïdale locale introduite dans une couche limite laminaire. Les distributions de la vitesse moyenne et de l'intensité de la composante axiale de la turbulence, de même que le spectre d'énergie de...

Measurement of the Reynolds Stresses in a Circular Pipe as a Means of Testing a DISA Constant-Temperature Hot-Wire Anemometer

Measurements of the turbulent stresses in fully-developed pipe flow have been made as an overall test of the DISA constant-temperature hot-wire anemometer. The measurements were made with single slanting wires and a normal wire. The shearing stress was measured at two Reynolds numbers and compared with values computed from the pressure drop down...

Mean value and correlation problems connected with the motion of small particles suspended in a turbulent fluid

A theoretical treatment of diffusion as function of turbulence, by working out the dispersion of small particles in turbulent fluid. The method of Kolmogoroff is used to decribe the movement in a statistical ways
