Regime
Re above 2·10⁵ — turbulent boundary layer
Every figure drawn under this hypothesis — 19 of them — with the essay each one belongs to and the generator that drew it.
19 figure placements state this regime. The strip along the foot of every figure names two things — the model that produced it and the regime it holds in — and this listing is read back out of the finished drawing rather than from what produced it.
- How much uphill a layer can take — laminar throughout, Re = 3×10⁶, 12% thick, 2% cambered · bl-profile
- The air a wing does not carry — Re = 1e+6 on a metre of chord · laminar, zero pressure gradient · extra-condition · hero
