Outer layer turbulence intensities in smooth- and rough-wall boundary layers

Clear differences in turbulence intensity profiles in smooth, transitional and fully rough zero-pressure-gradient boundary layers are demonstrated, using the diagnostic plot introduced by Alfredsson, Segalini & Örlü (Phys. Fluids, vol. 23, 2011, p. 041702) - u?/U versus U/Ue, where u? and U ar...
