(2012-08-23)Laminar flow control holds major promise for increasing aircraft efficiency and increasing laminar flow over aerodynamic surfaces could decrease drag by up to 30 percent. The Flight Research Lab at Texas A&M University has ...
-
(2023-04-21)Boundary-layer transition from laminar to turbulent flow critically affects vehicle safety and performance, particularly at hypersonic speeds where heat-transfer rates are extreme. Accounting for transition effects requires ...
-
(2012-10-19)Infrared transition location estimates can be fast and useful measurements in wind tunnel and flight tests. Because turbulent boundary layers have a much higher rate of convective heat transfer than laminar boundary layers, ...
