1. Effects of free-stream turbulence and three-dimensional roughness on boundary layer transition
Sammanfattning : External disturbances such as free-stream turbulence (FST), and isolated three-dimensional roughness are strong disturbance sources to the laminar boundary layers (BLs), which can lead to a rapid transition to turbulence. The transition process eventuates to increase in skin-friction coefficient and heat transfer rate and hence, both of the aforementioned disturbance sources have practical importance. LÄS MER
2. Edge states and transition to turbulence in boundary layers
Sammanfattning : The focus of this thesis is the numerical study of subcritical transition to turbulence in boundary-layer flows. For the most part, boundary layers with uniform suction are considered. Constant homogeneous suction counteracts the spatial growth of the boundary layer, rendering the flow parallel. LÄS MER
3. Transitional boundary layers caused by free-stream turbulence
Sammanfattning : The present measurement campaign on the free-stream turbulence (FST) induced boundary layer transition scenario has provided a unique set of experimental data, with potential to enhance the understanding of the eect of the free-stream turbulence characteristic length scales on the transition location and not only the turbulence intensity, which has been the focus in most previous studies. Recent investigations where the turbulence intensity has been kept essentially constant, while the integral length scale has been changed, show that the transition location is advanced for increasing length scale.

4. Laninar-turbulent boundary layer transition influenced by free stream turbulence
Sammanfattning : Laminar-turbulent transition in a flat plate boundary layerhas been considered, with a special emphasis on the influencefrom free stream turbulence (FST)First, experiments on linear stability ofTollmien-Schlichting (TS) waves in a Blasius boundary layer wasstudied. This is a well-known example from hydrodynamicstability theory, which has hitherto suffered from unresolveddiscrepancies between experiments and linear theory. LÄS MER
5. Direct Numerical Simulation of Boundary-layer Transition with Free-stream Turbulence
Sammanfattning : This thesis considers the generation and influence of free-stream turbulence toboundary layer transition on both flat and curved bodies in the flow. Variousflow configurations such as flow around the flat plate with a sharp leading edgeand low-pressure turbine blades are considered. LÄS MER
