A typical challenge for re-entry vehicles during flight is an effective control of hypersonic transition and the laminar/turbulent state of the boundary layer. The state of the boundary layer is of ...

A specific measurement technique based on the use of TSP enables us to visualize the laminar-to-turbulent boundary-layer transition on wind tunnel models. This is of great interest for high Reynolds ...

The size of the wake decreases, indicating that the boundary layer separation on the cylinder or sphere occurs further along the surface than before. What has happened? The phenomenon is related to ...

Shock wave and turbulent boundary layer interactions (SWBLI) are critical phenomena in fluid dynamics, particularly in the context of high-speed flows encountered in aerospace applications.

Discrete Spatial Control of Wall Shear Stress in a Turbulent Boundary Layer, (with G.L.Brown), Proceedings of the International Conference ... AIAA Shear Flow Control Conference, AIAA-85-0535, 1985.

Another significant study explored the dynamics of negatively buoyant disks and fibers in a turbulent boundary layer, which is ... indicating whether the flow is laminar or turbulent.
