Transition in a Boundary Layer and in a Pipe Flow.

Abstract

An experimental investigation was carried out in shear flows undergoing transition to turbulence and in fully developed turbulent flows. The aim of the experiment is to understand and control transition, as well as to determine the effects of transition on fully turbulent flows. In the boundary layer case this effect was clearly established at moderate Reynolds numbers. (Author)
