This project focuses on creating a simulation of thermally stable boundary layers to measure fluid dynamics properties. Utilizing principles from the Navier-Stokes equations, the experiment is designed to understand turbulent structures, including vortices. Preliminary work involves comprehensive data collection and analysis across various temperature and velocity settings. Acknowledgments to Professor Lex Smits and Owen Williams for their guidance in this complex field. The findings aim to contribute valuable insights into energy challenges associated with fluid mechanics.
