Experience about the application and valuation of roughness strips for boundary layer transition control in wind tunnel tests in the high-speed range
Abstract
Placing and application of artificial transition strips for aerodynamic tests are described. Methods used in high-speed wind tunnels for checking the effectiveness of transition strips are given.
