Axisymmetric Turbulent Boundary Layer under Adverse Pressure Gradient via Large-Eddy Simulation

A large-eddy simulation study of the structure of an axisymmetric turbulent boundary layer developing under strong adverse pressure gradient and weak transverse curvature on the tail cone of a body of revolution. It characterizes how the mean velocity log and wake regions, embedded-shear-layer self-similarity, azimuthal-wavenumber spectra, two-point correlations, and integral length scales differ from canonical zero-pressure-gradient planar boundary layers.
