Boundary Layer Separation Under Strong Adverse Pressure Gradient over Smooth and Rough Walls

Part of the book series: ERCOFTAC Series ((ERCO,volume 24))

Abstract

Large eddy simulations of separated turbulent boundary layers over a flat plate were performed to study the effects of wall roughness. Rough-wall cases have a larger separation bubble with both earlier separation and later reattachment. Roughness leads to early flow reversal upstream of the real separation.
