CAREER: A Physical Modeling Approach to Wall Turbulence and Enhancing the Educational Experience Through the Beauty of Fluid Motion

零压力梯度湍流边界层是本研究的主题，是大量技术上重要设备（飞机/船舶/车辆阻力，工业过程等）的原型流。它将在这项研究中获得“新鲜的外观”，因为PI将重点放在一个合理的和不断发展的基本力学的理论结构上，这些基本力学负责这个无处不在的流场的重要属性。即将进行的实验还将涉及一个重要的扰动：一个移动的带作为壁面边界，这将极大地改变流中相干运动的假设源效应。期望本研究能为这一非常重要的流场提供相当有意义的数据和见解。

The zero pressure gradient turbulent boundary layer, the subject of this study, is the prototype flow for a vast number of technologically important devices (aircraft/ship/vehicle drag, industrial processes, etc.). It will receive a "fresh look' in this research as the PI brings focus to a plausible and an evolving theoretical construct of the of the basic mechanics which are responsible for the important attributes of this ubiquitous flow field. The experiments to be executed will also involve a significant perturbation: a moving belt as the wall boundary, that will dramatically alter the hypothesized source effect for the coherent motions in the flow. It is expected that this research will provide quite significant data and insight for this very important flow field.
