In an experiment on how turbulent boundary layers respond to acceleration in the flow around them, aerospace engineers at the observed an unexpected internal boundary layer. In an experiment on how ...

NASA is mounting an experiment the agency hopes will shed light on boundary layer transition, which caused considerable uncertainty during the space shuttle's return-to-flight mission in August 2005.

The results of the experiment “Comprehensive Observation on the Atmospheric boundary layer Three-dimensional Structure” (COATS) were recently published online in SCIENCE CHINA Earth Sciences. Based on ...

Experiments were conducted in the Unsteady Pressure Gradients Facility in the Aerodynamics Research Laboratory at UIUC. The facility comprises a boundary layer wind tunnel and a removable installation ...

Convective motions driven by core cooling have a structure that is three-dimensional and time-dependent. Consequently, the dynamics of the interaction between this flow and an underlying dense layer ...

Turbulence makes many people uneasy or downright queasy. And it's given researchers a headache, too. Mathematicians have been trying for a century or more to understand the turbulence that arises when ...
