Thesis Title
Characterizing the Inertial Turbulence Regime in Rotating Disk Boundary Layer Flow
Research overview
The aims of this research will be:
1. Employing molecular tagging velocimetry (MTV) and laser doppler anemometry (LDA) techniques to experimentally quantify the characteristics of rotating disk boundary layer flow in the fully turbulent regime.
2. Measuring the leading balance of terms in the mean momentum equation as a function of Reynolds number over an unprecedented Reynolds number range.
3. Leveraging the radial and azimuthal MTV velocity profiles to reveal the role of the cross flow on the structure of the turbulent boundary layer compared to the canonical 2-D boundary layer.
