Effect of polymer additives on transitioning and turbulent boundary layers
(University of Waterloo, 2021-10-26)Injection of small quantities of polymer solutions in various internal and external turbulent flows can produce a substantial reduction of skin friction drag. This phenomenon, known as Toms phenomenon, has been actively ... -
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 ...
