Investigation of separation of the turbulent boundary layer / G.B. Schubauer and P.S. Klebanoff.
An investigation was conducted on a turbulent boundary layer near a smooth surface with pressure gradients sufficient to cause flow separation. The Reynolds number was high, but speeds were entirely within the incompressible flow range. The investigation consisted of measurements of mean flow, three...

| Summary: | An investigation was conducted on a turbulent boundary layer near a smooth surface with pressure gradients sufficient to cause flow separation. The Reynolds number was high, but speeds were entirely within the incompressible flow range. The investigation consisted of measurements of mean flow, three components of turbulence intensity, turbulent shearing stress, and correlations between two fluctuation components at a point and between the same component at different points. Results are given in the form of tables and graphs. The discussion deals first with separation, and then with the more fundamental question of basic concepts of turbulent flow. |
