In considering boundary layer transition, the available experimental data and prediction methods are reviewed and further experimental results are presented. Some empirical rules are suggested for the separate effects of stream turbulence and of pressure gradient and of both combined. The approximate nature of these rules is described and the causes indicated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
