The influence of roughness trips upon boundary-layer transition. III - Characteristics of rows of spherical transition trips
Abstract
Following Parts 1 and 2 of this experimental study the effects of rows of spherical roughness elements upon transition of the bounary layer are now described. Data presented includes that for the start of the end of transition, the effect of spacing of the roughness elements, the effective origin of the turbulent boundary layer and its development and the spanwise variations across the turbulent boundary layer.
