Abstract
Direct numerical simulation of a turbulent boundary layer under a strong pressure gradient has been performed. The flow considered is of equilibrium type which makes the analysis of the boundary layer equations simpler. Results from the analysis and the simulations are compared and the effects of the pressure gradient is discussed. The analysis can also be extended to the separated case, and evaluation of data from a simulation of a separated boundary layer of Na and Moin [8] is presented.
