Variation in bed level shear stress on surfaces sheltered by nonerodible roughness elements
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Direct bed level observations of surface shear stress, pressure gradient variability, turbulence intensity, and fluid flow patterns were carried out in the vicinity of cylindrical roughness elements mounted in a boundary layer wind tunnel. Paired corkscrew vortices shed from each of the elements result in elevated shear stress and increased potential for the initiation of particle transport within the far wake. While the size and shape of these trailing vortices change with the element spacing, they persist even for large roughness densities. Wake interference coincides with the impingement of the upwind horseshoe vortices upon one another at a point when their diameter approaches half the distance between the roughness elements. While the erosive capability of the horseshoe vortex has been suggested for a variety of settings, the present study shows that the fluid stress immediately beneath this coherent structure is actually small in comparison to that caused by compression of the incident flow as it is deflected around the element and attached vortex. Observations such as these are required for further refinement of models of stress partitioning on rough surfaces.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
