Streamwise Interfaces of an Isolated Turbulent Region in a Laminar Boundary Layer

The streamwise interfaces of an isolated turbulent region in a flat plate boundary layer are investigated by performing a wind tunnel experiment. A bimorph-type piezoceramic actuator is used to generate a trapezoidal turbulent region whose spanwise width is larger than those of a typical turbulent s...
