Effects of turbulence stimulators on Effects of turbulence stimulators on the boundary layer and resistance of a ship model as detected by hot wires effectsofturbule00bres Year: 1950 29 the decrements calculated for the nonstimulated and the stimulated condition, viz., 4C* = L ?c [13] 4C* where is the ratio of the increase in frictional resistance to the equiv- alent flat-plate resistance as computed from the boundary-layer survey data, is the computed decrement of resistance caused by the laminar flow over tne model without turbulence stimulation, and is the computed decrement of frictional resistance caused by the laminar flow which persists when the model is towed with a stimu- lator. Curves of AQ*f /Cf have been drawn on Figure 21 where it may again be observed that the turbulence rod appears to be relatively better than the other devices which were tested. It should be noted, however, that the values of AC* at low Reynolds numbers (R < 6 x TO6) are probably somewhat high because of the extensive region of transitional flow obtained with turbulnnce stimulation, as shown in Figure 19- No allowance has been made for the decrement arising from transitional flow in any of the calculations. It now remains to show that the predicted increases in resistance ob- tained from the boundary-layer surveys can be correlated with the increases measured by the towing dynamometer under the same conditions of stimulation.
