Laminar Turbulent Transition in a Boundary Layer Subjected to Weak Free Stream Turbulence

For revealing the transition process in a flat plate boundary layer subjected to a weak free stream turbulence, flow visualization and hot-wire measurements were performed. A weak free stream turbulence was generated by a turbulence grid mounted upstream of the contraction. The flow visualization cl...
