A unified view of turbulent boundary layer structure
Abstract
Flow visualization and hot-wire experiments have been carried out in the zero pressure gradient turbulent boundary layer over a wide range of Reynolds numbers. The effects of increasing Reynolds number are very marked but may be accounted for by assuming a common underlying structure of stretched vortex loops. Substantial experimental evidence is provided in support of this hypothesis.
