    • Aerodynamic Design for Swept-wing Laminar Flow 
      Belisle, Michael Joseph (2013-11-08)
      This work describes and compares processes for swept-wing laminar flow control (SWLFC) aerody-namic design. It focuses on results obtained during the preliminary outer-mold-line (OML) design of the Subsonic Aircraft ...
    • Modification of turbulent structure in channel flows by microbubble injection close to the wall 
      Gutierrez Torres, Claudia del Carmen (Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
      An investigation of turbulent structure modification of a boundary layer for a fully developed channel flow by microbubble injection close to the upper wall was carried out using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV). Two-dimensional ...
    • Wall-pressure and PIV analysis for microbubble drag reduction investigation 
      Dominguez Ontiveros, Elvis Efren (Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
      The effects of microbubbles injection in the boundary layer of a turbulent channel flow are investigated. Electrolysis demonstrated to be an effective method to produce microbubbles with an average diameter of 30 ??m and ...
