RT Journal Article ID 5396aad129cdcf08 A1 Berdnikov, Vladimir S. A1 Semyonov, V. I. T1 Heat Transfer from a Vertical Isothermal Surface in the Mode of Laminar-Turbulent Transition in a Free-Convection Boundary Layer JF Heat Transfer Research JO HTR YR 2000 FD 2000-03-01 VO 31 IS 1-2 SP 1 OP 4 AB The evolution of a free-convection boundary layer at a heated vertical wall was studied experimentally. Studies were carried out on two models with close linear and equal relative dimensions HIL = 11.5 and under conditions of independent development of boundary layers on working surfaces. One of the models had two excellent heat-conducting boundaries. One of the boundaries of the second model was transparent. The similarity of laminar-turbulent transition processes in these models was shown. The use of a transparent boundary allowed a comparison of the evolution of three-dimensional secondary flows during laminar-turbulent transitions.
