... Abstract In the present study, the effects of wall proximity on the wake dynamics behind a square cylinder subjected to a thick upstream turbulent boundary layer were experimentally investigated using particle image velocimetry. The Reynolds number based on the free-stream velocity...

... Abstract In this paper, we use a CFD analysis of a simplified, 2D geometry to study the ability of mako shark denticles to mitigate flow separation. We represent the viscous sublayer below a turbulent boundary layer streak as a Couette flow. Incipient separation is simulated by balancing upper...

... Abstract The current study explores the influence of polymer drag reduction on the near-wall velocity distribution in a turbulent boundary layer. The classical view is that the polymers modify the intercept constant within the log-region without impacting the von Kármán coefficient, which...

... Abstract Large-eddy simulations (LES) of incompressible turbulent boundary-layer flows can simulate a fundamental unsteady turbulent flow, including time-variant streamwise and wall-normal velocity as well as the near-wall locations of significant turbulence intensities. A typical illustration...

... Abstract How microbubbles behave inside turbulent boundary layers are investigated experimentally. Water electrolysis is applied for generation of microbubbles in water, of which electrodes are flash mounted on the solid wall in the upstream section of the measurement area. Four kinds of solid...

... Abstract To investigate the development process of a void wave, spatio-temporal fluctuation of void fraction, we examined experimentally a turbulent boundary layer with bubble injections. The experiments performed on a flat bottom of 4-mlong transparent model ship towed in a tank of 100 m...
