Laminariscent Turbulent Boundary Layers: Experiments on Nozzle Flows.

Abstract

Because a turbulent boundary layer in a nozzle undergoes strong acceleration, a laminariscent boundary layer with the benefit of a lower surface heat transfer rate can result for some short distance. Here several phenomena which accompany laminarescence produced by strong acceleration are examined for nozzle-flow and sink-flow accelerational distributions, respectively.
