Observations on the structure of turbulent boundary layers interacting with embedded propeller tip vortices

HIGHLIGHTS

• What: The authors explore these vortex/boundary-layer interactions through experiments and present the observations on the changes to the turbulent boundary-layer structure for different scenarios, especially focusing on the effects of propeller tip vortices embedded within the boundary layer. The work reveals, yet again, that a sequence of events transpires, culminating in an abrupt eruption, i.e. separation, which leads to the formation of new vortices. This study attempts to address these questions by presenting some experimental observations on the organization of a TBL in the wake of a two-blade propeller. The observations are . . .
