Archie,
This static boundary layer thing- I've heard of this before,(normally in the
context of airframe surfaces esp. airfoils) and can picture it easily
enough- like the dust that refuses to fly off my old truck at highway
speeds. I do believe you, but it still sounds funny to the me. Kind of like
how a golf ball flies farther because of its dimples. We know it does, just
"doesn't seem right!" Very interesting stuff. Bottom line- a properly
calibrated and operated flow bench does not lie.
So this detrimental effect, just how significant is its penalty? I'm
imagining it to be in the neighborhood of being almost an even wash; does
this amount to a bunch of work for nothing?
