Reynolds Number Effects on Turbulent Boundary Layer Transport

AbstractIn this renewal proposal, Dr. Klewicki plans to carry out further experimental investigations on the effect large Reynolds number on the cross-stream transport in a turbulent boundary layer. Even though much has been learned form the experiments carried out under the current Grant CTS-9905526, better understanding of such transport mechanisms can be obtained when the experimental parameter range is extended, and additional transport terms measured. The experiments will be carried out in a wind tunnel and in an environmental test facility in the Great Salt Lake Desert in Utah. In the current Grant, 3 undergraduate students participated in the experimental work through the REU program.
