An investigation using wavelet analysis into velocity perturbations under the influence of elevated freestream turbulence at transition onset

The development of streamwise-orientated disturbances at transition onset for zero-pressure gradient boundary layer flow under the influence of 1.3% freestream turbulence intensity is presented. The analysis concentrates on the development of turbulent spots and other coherent structures with the us...
