Abstract
An analysis has been performed of a large-eddy simulation of a flat-plate boundary layer undergoing by-pass transition due to a high level of free-stream turbulence. Data have been gathered that allow the computation of all terms in the equations for the Reynolds stresses, allowing new insights into the physical mechanisms at work in transiton under turbulence, and suggesting improvements to existing closure models for the process of by-pass transition.
