I’m afraid that my answer will disappoint you in several ways, whatunion. I potter around the forums for a bit of relaxation and its late at night now. I don’t think I could do your question justice with the time that I want to put into it. I’ve been around long enough that I just do the things that I like to do – this thread seems to be moving rapidly towards something I don’t like so I’m about to lose interest.
I assume that we’re talking about the same thing if I use the term stall strips or wedges. A useful tool or “fix” for a designer to use. I guess that your question is aimed at my statement regarding transition point in relation to the stall strip and the mechanism by which the boundary layer is modified and its effect on the value of the adverse pressure gradient at which flow separation occurs downstream. So yes, transition point is now a factor in the revised scope of the debate.
