New interpretation of specific sign of Reynolds stress in the boundary layer on a flat plate

ABSTRACT: The specific sign of Reynolds stress in the boundary layer on a flat plate at zero incidence is newly interpreted in present paper based on the theory of vortex-induced vortex. It avoids some problems appeared in a traditional explanation, on the basis of relationship between mean and fluc...
