Current advances in experimental and computational studies of three-dimensional (3-D) near-wall turbulent flows in streamwise corners (SC) including the boundary-layer transition are reviewed. The focus is the structure, properties and main regularities of such flows in a wide range of variable conditions and basic parameters. A variety of different kinds of near-wall streamwise corner flows is displayed. Analysis of approaches for modeling of the near-wall corner flow in laboratory experiment is given. The problem of simulation of such flows where some ambiguities remain is discussed. The main factors on the structure of the flow in streamwise corners are analyzed. Also, the effectiveness of flow control by streamwise vortices in the junction regions of aerodynamic surfaces is shown. Finally, some important properties of the modified near-wall turbulent corner flows which have been revealed experimentally, in particular, for the flow near the wing/body junction (WBJ), can be used as an attractive alternative for real applications.
