Abstract
The WALLTURB project was a challenging research program, in line with the objectives of the EC FP6 program in Aeronautics and of strong industrial interest at intermediate and long term. The WALLTURB consortium was a combination of 16 research teams from University, research organizations and aeronautical industry shaped to tackle the challenges of the project.
The global aim of WALLTURB was to bring in four years a significant progress in the understanding and modelling of near wall turbulence in boundary layers. To reach these objectives, the WALLTURB consortium took advantage of the recent progress in the experimental and numerical approaches of turbulence and the complementary skills of some of the leading teams in Europe working on turbulence.
The WALLTURB project has generated a large and original database, with new and relevant data about near wall turbulence (from both experiments and DNS). This database is giving new insights into both Zero and Adverse Pressure Gradient Turbulent Boundary Layer physics, with and without separation.
