Growth of boundary-layer streaks due to free-stream turbulence

The growth of laminar boundary-layer streaks caused by free-stream turbulence encountering a flat plate in zero-pressure-gradient conditions is investigated experimentally in a wind tunnel and numerically by solving the unsteady boundary-region equations. A comparative discussion amongst the most re...
