An Experimental Study of Transition on Blunt Bodies. Part I.

Abstract

Experimental results are presented for the effects of Reynolds number and angle-of-attack on the static pressure distribution and the location of laminar to turbulent transition for the flow over several blunt noseforms; comparisons are made with analytical methods. (Author)
