Experimental Study of Turbulent Flow over Inclined Ribs in Adverse Pressure Gradient

Show other versions (1)

This thesis is an experimental study of turbulent flows over smooth and rough walls in a channel that consists of an upstream parallel section to produce a fully developed channel flow and a diverging section to produce an adverse pressure gradient (APG) flow. The roughness elements used were two-di...
