Objectives
- Characterize experimentally the 3D separated flow structure and wall shear stresses around the body
- Introduce and demonstrate technologies that could be implemented regularly in Navy testing
Currently
- Limited data on the flow structure at high Reynolds numbers
- Essentially no data on the wall shear stresses – needed for modeling hydrodynamic forces
- No data on the effects of boundary layer tripping in boundary layers with variable pressure gradients
Approach: Simultaneous Application of Internal and external SPIV systems
