Measurement of Turbulent Characteristics at Low Reynolds Number and Comparison with CFD for Eppler 387

Transition to turbulence is an important phenomenon which has been studied extensively in literature both experimentally as well as numerically. Development of turbulence characteristics in the laminar separation bubble has been studied experimentally using hot wire anemometer and numerically for two Reynolds number using two transition models. Experimentally measured turbulence characteristics are compared with numerical results, and the performance of the transition models has been brought out.
