Observations of the transition to turbulence in the boundary layer on a flat plate

The aim of this work was to gain further insight into the transition from laminar to turbulent flow in the motion of a fluid past a solid surface. The present experimental work has been confined to the most simple example; the flow of an incompressible fluid along a smooth flat plate at zero angle o...
