So when a turbulent boundary layer enters a region of adverse pressure gradient, it can persist for a longer distance without separating (compared to a laminar flow) because the momentum near the wall ...

But it all starts with this change in pressure over a distance—what meteorologists like me call a pressure gradient. Strong ...

The closeness and relative strength of these systems is called a pressure gradient. The bigger the difference in pressure between the two systems over smaller spaces, the bigger the pressure ...

Dr. Aviral Prakash graduated in Summer 2023, and his dissertation focused on analysis of turbulent boundary layers subject to strong favorable and adverse pressure gradients as well as data-driven ...
