This book was released on 1985 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Detailed experiments were performed for boundary layers undergoing transition to turbulence. The experiments utilized multiple hot wire anemometer techniques in combination with recently developed flow visualization and computational techniques. The use of a phase-correlated and conditionally sampled measurements permitted the study of the origin and evolution of the characteristic of transitional boundary layers. Fundamental transition mechanisms and the receptivity of the boundary layer to external disturbances that led to transition were studied.
