Abstract

At the present time, the impact of free stream turbulence on fully turbulent boundary layer flow has been examined in numerous experimental, analytical and computational studies. Many of these studies [1]..[12] deal with the effects of the free stream turbulence on the main statistical turbulence quantities (for example mean velocities, turbulent shear stress, turbulent kinetic energy): in particular some workers have studied Length Scales, Skewness and Kurtosis, which will be used in this paper.
