Effects of Periodic Unsteadiness, Free-Stream Turbulence, and Flow Reynolds Number on Separation-Bubble Transition
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This paper presents measurements of the combined effects of free-stream turbulence and periodic streamwise velocity variations on separation-bubble transition. The measurements were performed on a flat plate at two values of flow Reynolds number, with a streamwise pressure distribution similar to those encountered on the suction side of axial turbine blades. The experiment was designed to facilitate independent control of turbulence and periodic velocity fluctuations in the free-stream. The free-stream turbulence intensity was varied from 0.4% to 4.5%, and the periodic unsteadiness corresponded to Strouhal numbers of 0.0, 2.4 and 4.0. Based on the results, the relative importance of free-stream turbulence and periodic unsteadiness on the streamwise locations of separation, transition and reattachment points are quantified. Existing mathematical models for predicting separated-flow transition and reattachment are then evaluated in this context.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
