A theory for transition from laminar to turbulent flow as the result of unsteady, periodic passing of turbulent wakes in the free stream is developed using Emmons’ transition model. Comparisons made to flat plate boundary layer measurements and airfoil heat transfer measurements confirm the theory.

The purpose of this note is to construct a local solution that eliminates a residual velocity discontinuity in the inviscid portion of a solution obtained in a recent paper by Goldstein, Leib & Cowley (1992). This result is of importance because it shows that the solution obtained in that paper is entirely non-singular outside the viscous wall boundary layer and that any singularity in the problem will have to arise in the usual way through a breakdown in the viscous boundary layer.

This study investigates wake-induced bypass transition of a flat-plate boundary layer that experiences favorable and adverse pressure gradients. The effect of free-stream turbulence is also examined. This paper mainly focuses on how the pressure gradients affect the transitional behavior of the wake-disturbed boundary layer with and without the influence of free-stream turbulence. A wall-contouring of the test duct generates the flow acceleration and deceleration on the flat plate, emulating aft-loading or front-loading pressure distributions of actual turbine blades. A spoked-wheel type wake generator is used to produce wakes moving over the boundary layer. Detailed boundary layer measurements are performed by use of a hot-wire anemometer. In addition to velocity fluctuations, which clearly indicate transition process, intermittency factors are obtained and compared with the results given by a transition model. Noticeable differences in transitional behavior are observed between the cases with and without the enhanced free-stream turbulence. It is also confirmed that the wake width as well as the direction of the bar movement are influential factors to the bypass transition.
