THanks for the posts guys. I think i understand transition slightly better now. I have a few small questions that have come up in the last few days (mostly i have become confused reading through different papers) 1) I have noted that the chord position at which we get critical Reynolds...

I understood the flow separation description completely (apart from 'pushed back'. i assume you mean that the pressure increases with distance along the chord resulting in a net force acting upstream? if you don't mean that then i am in BIIIIIIGG trouble!) I understand enough (I think) about...

a paper by Joslin titled "Aircraft Laminar Flow Control" out of [i]Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics I think i have seen this paper and if i remember it right it contained quite a lot of calculations that were over my head. Papers like that seemed to be a little calc-heavy with less time...

I did a degree in uni on aero eng and got myself a 2.2 BEng. unfortunately i haven't actually had to use the degree a lot so most of it is gone :S and now i am trying to do an Masters of Science degree part time. If you can let me know what you know i'll tell you if i get it. e.g. why is a...

Hi all, I am looking to learn more about boundary layer control devices that can delay boundary layer transition (Laminar to Turbulent) and also BL devices that can delay flow separation. I have already found loads of info on Vortex Generators but i am having trouble finding info on things...
