Flat Plate Boundary Layer

The flow structure downstream of a triangular rib over a thin plate placed in a wind tunnel was experimentally investigated using a boundary layer hotwire anemometer. Flow and boundary layer characteristics, such as thickness, shape, and turbulence parameters, were studied at different freestream velocities and streamwise locations corresponding to ReX of 1.7 × 104–2.8 × 105 for plates without and with a leading edge rib. It was found that the boundary layer of the flow over a ribbed wall was 3–3.5 times thicker and had higher turbulence intensity and smaller turbulence length scales compared to its smooth wall counterpart.

Flat Plate Boundary Layer

We consider a nominally uniform flow over a semi-infinite flat plate. Our analysis shows how a small streamwise disturbance in the otherwise uniform flow ahead of the plate is amplified by leading-edge bluntness effects and eventually leads to a small-amplitude but nonlinear spanwise motion far downstream from the leading edge of the plate. This spanwise motion is then imposed on the viscous boundary-layer flow at the surface of the plate – causing an order-one change in its profile shape. This ultimately reduces the wall shear stress to zero – causing the boundary layer to undergo a localized separation, which may be characterized as a kind of bursting phenomenon that could be related to the turbulent bursts observed in some flat-plate boundary-layer experiments.
