Abstract
An experimental flow visualization study was performed
on a rectangular block and other elements that could be
assembled in the form of a generic destroyer ship model in
the Low Speed Flow Visualization Facility at the Naval
Postgraduate School, Monterey, California. The purpose of
the study was to visually analyze the flow field around the
model in a simulated open ocean atmospheric boundary layer.
To ensure correct simulation of the atmospheric boundary
layer, both velocity profile and longitudinal turbulence
intensities we rematched.
