Key Physics

Key physical features of the UFR in question are: separation of the turbulent boundary layer from a smooth surface driven by adverse pressure gradient, a rapid development of three-dimensional turbulent structures in the separated shear layer, its reattachment to the plane wall, and further relaxation of the reattached turbulent boundary layer to the “normal” state.
