Boundary Layers, Shear Flows and Turbulence
Participants: B.W. van Oudheusden, F. Scarano, J.L. Souverein, R. de Kat
Partners: EU FP-6 program "UFAST", IUSTI laboratory (University of Aix-Marseille),
Goal: To develop and apply experimental techniques which further the understanding of complex viscous aerodynamic flows. Flows with separation and shock interactions.
Assorted activities:
- Experimental investigation of laminar-turbulent transition, turbulence and vortical flows
- PIV and POD of bluff-body flows and unsteady wake flows
- Compressible turbulent flows and shock wave boundary layer interactions (SWBLI)
- Boundary layer and SWBLI flow control
