Large-eddy simulation and wall modelling of turbulent channel flow (2009, methodology): “In fact, this intercept is found to be sensitive to pressure gradients and can assume values in the range 10–15 (Nickels 2004).”
A parametric study of adverse pressure gradient turbulent boundary layers (2011, result): “It is also in agreement with Nickels (2004) who showed that, in the region of z+ 10, the mean velocity data of adverse, zero and favorable pressure gradients collapses under inner-scaling.”
Assessment of direct numerical simulation data of turbulent boundary layers (2010, methodology): “(2009) has been employed rather than the one by Nickels (2004), since it was found that the former description provides the closest fit to quality experiments and DNS data within the sublayer (Örlü 2009). In order to minimize Reynolds-number effects, the plots are clustered around four narrow Reynol”
Hot-wire spatial resolution issues in wall-bounded turbulence (2009, methodology): “Dependence of near-wall peak (u2/U 2 τ |m) on l for selected Reynolds numbers and with l/d > 200 ( ) (LB87) at Reτ ∼ 1000; , other data from figure 1 in which 800 < Reτ < 1100; , current study and Nickels et al. (2007) at Reτ ≈ 7300; , current study at Reτ ≈ 14 000.”
On the uncertainty of digital PIV and PTV near walls (2012, result): “…the fluid, the need to measure the mean flow gradient o u=oy precisely down to the wall is evident for a proper comparison of experimental, theoretical and numerical results (Alfredsson et al. 2011; Bitter et al. 2011; Fernholz and Finley 1996; Marusic et al. 2010; Nagib et al. 2007; Nickels 2004).”
Turbulent boundary layers around wing sections up to Rec=1,000,000 (2018, methodology): “(2017b), as well as in the experimental study by Sanmiguel Vila et al. (2017). In the latter, the lower-Re numerical data exhibited more pronounced APG features than the measurements. Large-scale energetic motions develop in ZPG TBLs at increasing Reynolds number together with the development of the”
Simulations of Spatially Evolving Turbulent Boundary Layers up to Reθ = 4300 (2010, result): “This behaviour is similar to a boundary layer under (weak) favourable pressure gradient (Schlatter and Brandt, 2008), which demonstrates the sensitivity of the near-wall region to possible pressure gradients (Nickels, 2004).”
