Experimental and theoretical analysis of laminar separation bubbles
Abstract
Experimental and computational results from flow in and around laminar separation bubbles are given, with emphasis on the reattachment region. The experimental bubble parameters are correlated with existing formulae, utilizing a novel method of measuring with dense spacing in and behind the rear part of the bubble. Removal of the separation bubble by means of a transition trip is discussed.
