Observations were made in the boundary layer along a flat plate in a wind tunnel. A sphere of various diameters was placed on the plate as an isolated roughness element and the resulting flow patterns were examined by the smoke emitted from various heights and positions relative to the sphere. The patterns were stereographically photographed from upper and lateral sides, in order to make clear the mechanism of the change of patterns with varying velocities, namely Reynolds numbers. At low velocities, peculiar vortex filaments are formed. With increasing velocity, they begin to be deformed periodically and a characteristic row of arch-shaped vortices is formed. As the velocity is further increased, the wedge-shaped turbulent region appears downstream and gradually approaches the sphere, encroaching upon the laminer part. Vortex filaments parallel to the direction of the main stream appear with a constant spacing with their heads along the sides of the wedge. These observations were compared with measuremen...
