    • Boundary layer on an airfoil in a cascade 

      Peterson, Carl R. ([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 ...

    • Boundary layer separation ; preliminary report 

      Moses, Hal Lynwood (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 ...

    • Boundary layer separation in internal flow 

      Moses, Hal Lynwood; Chappell, John R.; Goldberger, Tomas (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 ...

    • Centrifugal effect on the boundary layer on a blade of an axial turbo-machine 

      Olsson, Erik K. A. (Cambridge, Mass. : Gas Turbine Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1962], 1962)
      A study of the effect of centrifugal force acting on the turbulent boundary layer of a blade in a turbo-machine is presented. The study includes experimental work conducted in an apparatus featuring an annular cascade of ...

    • The development of a perturbed, incompressible, turbulent boundary layer 

      Handa, Hisayuki (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 ...

    • Flow visualization study of the inlet vortex phenomenon 

      De Siervi, Francesca (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 ...

    • Separation of turbulent, incompressible flow from a curved, backward-facing step 

      Nice, George Roland; Tseng, W.-Y. (Wu-Yang); Moses, Hal Lynwood (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 ...

    • Separation of turbulent, incompressible flow from a curved, backward-facing step 

      Nice, George Roland; Tseng, W.-Y. (Wu-Yang); Moses, Hal Lynwood (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 ...

    • Skewed turbulent boundary layers 

      Nelson, Warren G. (Warren George) (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 ...

    • A study of the end wall boundary layer in an axial compressor blade row 

      Moore, Raymond W. (Raymond William); Richardson, David L. (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 ...

    • Three-dimensional laminar boundary layer in curved channels with acceleration 

      Senoo, Y. (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 ...

    • Upstream history and apparent stress in turbulent boundary layers 

      Goldberg, Perry (Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Gas Turbine Laboratory, [1966], 1966)
      A comprehensive experimental and analytical study specifically designed to investigate upstream history and apparent stresses in incompressible, two-dimensional, turbulent boundary layers has been conducted. Hot-wire ...

    • Wall-shear-stress and laminarisation in accelerated turbulent compressible boundary-layers
