Effects of free-stream turbulence intensity on laminar separation bubbles
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-30)The effects of free-stream turbulence intensity on the flow over a NACA 0018 airfoil are studied experimentally in a wind tunnel facility. A parametric study is performed over a range of chord Reynolds numbers from 100 000 ... -
Investing Flow over an Airfoil at Low Reynolds Numbers Using Novel Time-Resolved Surface Pressure Measurements
(University of Waterloo, 2011-04-12)An aluminum NACA 0018 airfoil testbed was constructed with 95 static pressure taps and 25 embedded microphones to enable novel time-resolved measurements of surface pressure. The main objective of this investigation is to ... -
Stability of compressible boundary layers in presence of smooth roughness and wall temperature effects
(University of Waterloo, 2023-01-26)In natural laminar flow design, aircraft manufacturers aim to delay the laminar-to-turbulent transition by modifying the geometric features of the aircraft to stabilize the boundary layer. Yet, the transitional process is ...
