Boundary Layers

Spanwise Wavefront Analysis of Turbulence Amplification in a Turbulent Boundary Layer Forced by an External Shear Layer.

Non-intrusive optical approach was used to study the regions of the amplified turbulence inside the externally forced boundary layer. Spatially-temporallyresolved wavefronts in the spanwise direction were collected and analyzed. The external forcing …

Optical Investigation Of Turbulence Modulation In An Externally Forced, High Reynolds Number Boundary Layer

An optical investigation of an externally forced boundary layer is presented. Measurements were conducted in Notre Dame’s Compressible Shear Layer Facility. The forced shear layer created an organized spatially-temporally-varying external flow …

Multiple Aperture Approach for the Study of Large-Scale Boundary-Layer Structures

An investigation of large-scale boundary layer structure using two simultaneously sampled streamwise oriented apertures is presented. Measurements were conducted in Notre Dame’s Tri-Sonic facility at M = 0.5 at varying sampling frequencies and …

Optical investigation of large-scale boundary-layer structures

An investigation of large-scale boundary-layer structures using optical wavefront sensing techniques is described. Measurements were conducted in Notre Dame’s Tri-Sonic facility at M = 0.4 and 0.5 with a range of sampling frequencies and spatial …
