Measurements of wake-affected heat transfer distributions on a flat plate are made by use of a wake generator that consists of a rotating disk and several types of circular cylinders. The main purpose of this study is to construct a wake-induced transition model in terms of an intermittency factor, considering the evolution of the wake-induced turbulent region, a so-called turbulent patch in a distance-time diagram. A comparison between the proposed transition model and the measured heat transfer data reveals that the transition model yields good agreement with the measured data of all test conditions in this study.

The experiments directed to the study of possibility of simulation of thick equilibrium (according to Clauser) incompressible turbulent boundary layer on a flat plate of limited length have been performed. It is shown that the artificial generators manufactured from circular cylinders (pins) of adjustable height h, which were mounted normal to the wall in a staggered order in two rows in х in vicinity of the plate leading edge are quite effective means of artificial boundary layer thickening. In most cases both the averaged and fluctuation boundary-layer characteristics at a downstream distance about 530 cylinder diameters have values typical for naturally-developed turbulent boundary layer. Mean velocity profiles in the artificially thickened boundary layer taken in wall-law variables are approximated with a good accuracy by the wellknown velocity law valid for canonic boundary layer and they are generalized by a unified dependence using empirical velocity scale

The characteristics of the wake are predicted accurately by the critical point of the absolute instability supported by the wake profiles immediately behind the cylinder. Measured profiles at Rn = 56 provide Strouhal number St = 0.13 and at Rn = 140,000 St = 0.21 both in good agreement with experiment. It is also shown that at the undercritical Rn = 34 or for a symmetric array of vortices the instability is of the convective type, decaying behind the cylinder once the excitation is removed. Finally, it is shown that a model of the wake, based on the results of the instability analysis, is sufficient to obtain good estimates of the steady and unsteady forces on the cylinder. Closed-form expressions for the forces are obtained within this approximation.

A technique employing a three-axis piezoelectric load cell is developed to measure local unsteady forces induced on cylinders placed in a cross flow. Verification of the technique is carried out with a two-dimensional circular cylinder. All measurements are made at a Reynolds number of ∼4.8 × 104 and a free-stream turbulence of ∼1.5 percent. The local two-dimensional unsteady lift measurement is found to be in excellent agreement with spanwise-averaged data reported in the literature, thereby validating the feasibility of the present technique. Steady and unsteady force measurements on finite-span circular cylinders are reported and compared with available data in the literature.

The development of a two-dimensional viscous incompressible flow generated from an infinitesimally thin flat plate, impulsively started or uniformly accelerated normal to the free stream is studied computationally. An adaptive numerical scheme, based on vortex methods, is used to integrate the vorticity–velocity formulation of the Navier–Stokes equations. The results of the computations complement relevant experimental works while providing us with quantities such as the vorticity field and the unsteady forces experienced by the body. For the uniformly accelerated plate the present simulations capture the development of a number of centers of vorticity along the primary separating shear layer. This phenomenon has been observed in experimental works but has not been predicted by inviscid models. The present simulations suggest that this Kelvin–Helmholtz-type instability is driven by the interaction of primary and secondary vorticity near the tips of the plate and depends on the acceleration of the plate.
