Comparison of boundary layer calculations for the root section of a wing

At the workshop nine participants presented the results of their calculations for a practical test case. The test case deals with the 3D turbulent boundary layer development, including separation, on the root section of a swept wing. The employed calculation methods comprise 3D integral methods as well as field methods. A short description of...

Measurements of the Reynolds stress tensor in a three-dimensional turbulent boundary layer under infinite swept wing conditions

On a wind tunnel model measurements have been made of the six components of the Reynolds stress tensor in a three-dimensional incompressible turbulent boundary layer under infinite swept wing conditions in an adverse pressure gradient, with a three-dimensional separation near the trailing edge. These measurements complement the mean velocity...

Measurements in a three-dimensional incompressible turbulent boundary layer in an adverse pressure gradient under infinite swept wing conditions

On a wind tunnel model, especially designed to check calculation methods, measurements were made of a three-dimensional turbulent boundary layer under infinite swept wing conditions in an adverse pressure gradient, with a three-dimensional separation near the trailing edge. Accurate measurements of the external flow field, the mean velocity...
