Unsteady Turbulent Boundary-Layer Experiments with Rapidly Changing Free-Stream Conditions,

Abstract

Selected data sets produced by the Stanford Unsteady Turbulent Boundary Layer Program are compared to analytic solutions of the Stokes equations for different kinds of imposed, organized unsteadiness. Good agreement is found, qualifying the facility as one that faithfully produces flows of different prescribed unsteady conditions. Data sets from the facility are therefore considered especially suitable for comparison with predictions of turbulence models for unsteady flows. New data describing the development of an unsteady separation bubble are presented.
