Skewed turbulent boundary layers
(Cambridge, Mass. : Gas Turbine Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1959], 1959)
The problem of predicting the growth of incompressible, skewed, turbulent boundary layers on smooth surfaces is considered. It is supposed that sufficient initial information and a complete knowledge of the external pressure ...
Flow visualization study of the inlet vortex phenomenon
(Cambridge, Mass. : Gas Turbine & Plasma Dynamics Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1981], 1981)
The inlet vortex phenomenon was experimentally investigated in a water tunnel, using hydrogen bubble flow visualization techniques. Several inlet ambient flow combinations were studied, including an inlet and ground plane ...
Boundary layer separation ; preliminary report
(Cambridge, Mass. : Gas Turbine Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1962], 1962)
The phenomenon of incompressible boundary layer separation and the existing methods of predicting it are discussed. The failure of these theories in many cases clearly indicates a need for further investigation. A program ...
A study of the end wall boundary layer in an axial compressor blade row
(Cambridge, Mass. : Gas Turbine Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1955], 1955)
Turbulent end wall boundary layers in the hub region of axial compressor blade rows have been studied in the Gas Turbine Laboratory. Both analytical and experimental work are presented. An attempt was made to predict the ...
Boundary layer on an airfoil in a cascade
([Cambridge, Mass. : Gas Turbine Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1958], 1958)
A study of the turbulent boundary layer on an airfoil in a cascade is presented. The major portion of the observations are on the suction surface of the airfoil. The effect of added diffusion across the cascade due to a ...
Three-dimensional laminar boundary layer in curved channels with acceleration
(Cambridge, Mass. : Gas Turbine Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1956], 1956)
A theory is developed for two families of three-dimensional laminar boundary layers; namely, for the boundary layer on the parallel plane end walls of a curved channel with logarithmic spiral side walls, and for the boundary ...
The development of a perturbed, incompressible, turbulent boundary layer
(Cambridge, Mass. : Gas Turbine Laboratory , Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1969], 1969)
The response of a fully-developed equilibrium turbulent boundary layer to a small disturbance was observed experimentally under low-Mach number conditions: a turbulent boundary layer in an axisymmetric channel under zero ...
Separation of turbulent, incompressible flow from a curved, backward-facing step
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Gas Turbine Laboratory, [1966], 1966)
An experimental investigation of turbulent, incompressible flow separation over curved and sharp, backward-facing steps is presented with results for various step heights. Mean velocities in the separating boundary layer ...

(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Gas Turbine Laboratory, [1966], 1966)
An experimental investigation of turbulent, incompressible flow separation over curved and sharp, backward-facing steps is presented with results for various step heights. Mean velocities in the separating boundary layer ...
Boundary layer separation in internal flow
(Cambridge, Mass. : Gas Turbine Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1965], 1965)
An investigation of incompressible turbulent boundary layer separation in internal flow is presented with experimental results for a variable geometry, two-dimensional diffuser and two conical diffusers. A simple analytical ...
