Notes:
Large favorable pressure gradients can cause the drag of a turbulent boundary layer on a solid surface to decrease; if large enough, such gradients can cause a return to laminar flow. Scaling relations and a computational model for the viscous wall layer, recently developed in this laboratory are used to interpret this phenomenon.
