Abstract: Using liquid crystal sheet in a hybrid constant-wall-temperature/constant-heat-flux procedure, heat transfer distributions have been measured in concave-wall laminar boundary layers with a natural ...

Abstract: Velocities up to 200 m/s in condensing steam flows have been successfully measured using a laser Doppler anemometer, without artificial seeding. The performance of the system is described and ...

Abstract: Laminar-to-turbulent transition in the presence of Görtler vortices has been investigated experimentally, in the outer wall boundary layer of a curved water channel. Ratios of boundary layer ...

Abstract: Local measurements of stream wise velocity component have been made in the laminar boundary layer on the concave surface of a water channel, supported by flow visualization. Details of the ...
