This research proposal contemplates the experimental study of the effect of small surface irregularities on the transition from a laminar to turbulent boundary layer. The correct forecast of this transition is of great importance for the reduction of drag in an aerodynamic project and consequently leads to the reduction of aircraft fuel consumption and the reduction of pollutant gases emi…

Surface imperfections such as roughness may anticipate the laminar-turbulent transition process of the boundary layer. Current theories that predict the transition spot do not have adequate accuracy for the aeronautical design and are semiempirical, which makes the preliminary study phase of new aircraft configurations difficult. One of the problems of the theories used in industry is the…
This research proposal involves the effect of small cavities or other imperfections on a flat plate over the transition from the linear to the turbulent regime of a compressible flow. Accurately predicting this transition is of great importance for the drag reduction of and aerodynamic project, leading to a lower overall fuel consumption of aircrafts of other vehicles, especially at high …
The transition from laminar to turbulent flow is a very important phenomena in Fluid Mechanics. Since Reynolds's experiments, this topic remains an important focus of research that is not fully understood due to the complexity of the phenomena involved and its dependence on several parameters. The turbulent flow is characterized by drag increase relative to the laminar. Thus, in aeronauti…

The proposal constitutes a research project to be developed at the University of Liverpoolunder the supervision of Prof. Theofilis. The topic is the effect of a cavity in transitionto turbulence in a compressible flat plate boundary layer. Transition is an importanttopic in drag reduction of airplanes and the prediction of the transition point is still achallenge. Surface imperfections af…
