Transition Detection for Low Speed Wind Tunnel Testing Using Infrared Thermography

Transition is an important phenomenon in large scale, commercial, wind tunnel testing at low speeds because it is an excellent indicator of an airfoil performance. It is difficult to estimate transition through numerical techniques because of the complex nature of viscous flow. Therefore experimenta...
