Three-dimensional tracking of finite-size spheres in a turbulent boundary layer

Yi Hui Tee, Diogo Barros, Ellen K. Longmire

The motion of individual magnetic wax spheres with specific gravities of 1.003, 1.050 and 1.150 was investigated in turbulent boundary layers with $R{e}_{\tau }=700$ and 1300 ($d^{+}=60$…
