Laminariscent Turbulent Boundary Layers: Experiments on Sink Flows.

Abstract

Because sink-flow type turbulent boundary layers achieve an asymptotic laminar-like character, they are of interest in studying the several phenomena which accompany laminariscence under conditions of strong acceleration. Many different type measurements of the structure of two such sink flows are reported to determine how an initially normal turbulent boundary layer approaches the laminar-like state, including mean velocity and Reynolds stress profiles, eddy celerities, spectra, turbulent-non-turbulent interfacial structure, and wall bursting and sublayer spanwise spatial structure.
