Stagnation streamline turbulence

This paper discusses turbulence in the far-field flow approaching a stagnation point tending to decay by dissipation and growing by production due to mean field gradients. Near the surface where the mean flow gradients are steepest, diffusional transport also becomes important. The resulting boundary layer on the surface near the stagnation point may be considered to be pseudoturbulent or disturbed laminar, and the surface friction and heat transfer can be significantly different than the stagnation flow with no turbulence.
