The ability to accurately predict hypersonic boundary layer transmission will bring us much closer to hypersonic passenger flight one day.

Boundary Layers and Shockwaves The LT5 tests will involve blasting high-speed air past small objects with geometry similar to the flight vehicle.

During the Central Illinois Rainfall Chemistry Experiment (CIRCE), the University of Wisconsin lidar measured wind and turbulence profiles through the planetary boundary layer for a 32-h period in ...

The state and properties of boundary layer (BL) flows are very important issues for the design and operation of high performance air- and ground- vehicles as well as for many industrial flow ...
