Measurements of turbulent flow behind a flat plate mounted normal to the wall
Abstract
Attention is given to the results of measurements conducted in the turbulent flow behind a thin plate mounted normal to a larger boundary layer plate, constituting the merging of two coflowing, 90-deg corner flows since the leading edge of the plate (simulating a wing) is aligned with that of the wall (simulating a fuselage). The main feature of the mean flow is that the streamwise velocity increases rapidly near the centerplane, while in the rest of the regions the flow develops slowly and retains the qualitative features of a corner flow.
