SummarySome velocity profile and skin friction measurements for turbulent boundary layers at subsonic and supersonic speeds are reviewed to derive the magnitude of the wake component and the effects of its variation with Reynolds number on predictions of skin friction. As Reynolds number increases the wake component increases rapidly, reaches a maximum and then decreases. The measurements considered suggest that this maximum may be higher at supersonic speeds than at subsonic speeds. This wake component variation has a significant influence on predictions of skin friction in the Reynolds number range of interest on wind tunnel models.

This paper reports experimental measurements of two-dimensional turbulent boundary layers over sandpaper surfaces under turbulent streams to complement the Nikuradse experiments on pipe flow. The study included the recovery region downstream of the end of transition. Correlations are given for the thickness, the shape factor, the skin friction and the parameters of the velocity profile of the layer. Six further basic differences from the pipe flow are described to add to the five previously reported.

This paper reports the results of an extensive experimental investigation into the mean flow properties of turbulent boundary layers with momentum-thickness Reynolds numbers less than 3000. Zero pressure gradient and favorable pressure gradients were studied. The velocity profiles displayed a logarithmic region even at very low Reynolds numbers (as low as Rθ = 261). The results were independent of the leading-edge shape, and the pin-type turbulent stimulators performed well. It was found that the shape and Clauser parameters were a little higher than the correlation proposed by Coles [10], and the skin friction coefficient was a little lower. The skin friction coefficient behavior could be fitted well by a simple power-law relationship in both zero and favorable pressure gradients.

A review is given of the recent development in turbulent boundary layers. At first, for the case of incompressible flow, the variation of the shape of velocity profile with the pressure gradient is discussed; also the temperature distribution and heat transfer in incompressible boundary layers are treated. Finally, problems of the turbulent boundary layer in compressible flow are considered.
