An Examination of Configurations for Using Infrared to Measure Boundary Layer Transition

Infrared transition location estimates can be fast and useful measurements in wind tunnel and flight tests. Because turbulent boundary layers have a much higher rate of convective heat transfer than laminar boundary layers, a difference in surface temperature can be observed between turbulent and la...
