Logarithmic mean temperature profiles and their connection to plume emissions in turbulent Rayleigh-B\'enard convection [PDF]
Two-dimensional simulations of Rayleigh-B\'enard convection at $Ra = 5\times10^{10}$ show that vertical logarithmic mean temperature profiles can be observed in regions of the boundary layer where thermal plumes are emitted.

Direct Numerical Simulation of Supersonic Turbulent Boundary Layer with Spanwise Wall Oscillation
Direct numerical simulations (DNS) of Mach = 2.9 supersonic turbulent boundary layers with spanwise wall oscillation (SWO) are conducted to investigate the turbulent heat transport mechanism and its relation with the turbulent momentum transport.

Higher-Order Correlations Between Thermodynamic Fluctuations in Compressible Aerodynamic Turbulence
This paper studies the exact and approximate relations between fluctuations in thermodynamic variables (pressure, density and temperature) that are imposed by the dilute-gas (Z=1) equation-of-state (EoS), which is a satisfactory approximation of air ...

Program for calculating laminar and turbulent boundary layers in arbitrary pressure gradients [PDF]
Computer program predicts growth of boundary layers along any surface where air is flowing. Two integral methods, Cohen-Reshotko and Sasman-Cresici, calculate laminar boundary layers and turbulent boundary layers, respectively; Schlichting-Granville ...

Properties of the turbulent/non-turbulent interface in boundary layers
The turbulent/non-turbulent interface is analysed in a direct numerical simulation of a boundary layer in the range $Re_\theta=2800-6600$, with emphasis on the behaviour of the relatively large-scale fractal intermittent region.

On Reflection of Shock Waves from Boundary Layers [PDF]
Measurements of the reflection characteristics of shock waves from a flat surface with a laminar and turbulent boundary layer are presented. The investigations were carried out at Mach numbers from about 1.3 to 1.5 and a Reynolds number of 0.9 x 10^4.

Bubbly Turbulent Drag Reduction Is a Boundary Layer Effect [PDF]
In turbulent Taylor-Couette flow, the injection of bubbles reduces the overall drag. On the other hand, rough walls enhance the overall drag. In this work, we inject bubbles into turbulent Taylor-Couette flow with rough walls (with a Reynolds number up ...
