SummaryThe transition behaviour of the boundary layer which is formed along an infinite swept attachment line has been studied experimentally. Circular trip wires and turbulent flat plate boundary layers have been used as sources of disturbance and the range of parameters covered has been such that the results are directly applicable to full scale flight conditions. Simple criteria have been deduced which allow the state of the boundary layer to be determined for given geometric and free stream properties. Sample calculations for typical swept wing configurations suggest that the majority of civil aircraft will have turbulent attachment lines in the cruise and that subsequent relaminarisation in regions of favourable pressure gradient is unlikely.

This work continues the research on modeling of passive methods of management of flow regimes in the boundary layers of compressed gas. Authors consider the influence of pressure gradient on the evolution of perturbations of different nature. For low Mach number M = 2 increase in pressure contributes to an earlier transition of laminar to turbulent flow, and, on the contrary, drop in the pressure leads to a prolongation of the transition to turbulence. For high Mach number M = 5.35 found that the acoustic disturbances exhibit a very high dependence on the sign and magnitude of the external gradient, with a favorable gradient of the critical Reynolds number becomes smaller than the vortex disturbances, and at worst – boundary layer is destabilized directly on the leading edge

Averaged Model

The intermittency profile in the turbulent flat-plate zero pressure-gradient boundary-layer and a thick axisymmetric boundary-layer has been computed using the Reynolds-averaged k−ε−γ model, where k denotes turbulent kinetic energy, ε its rate of dissipation, and γ intermittency. The Reynolds-averaged model is simpler compared to the conditional model used in the literature. The dissipation equation of the Reynolds-averaged model is modified to account for the effect of entrainment. It has been shown that the model correctly predicts the observed intermittency of the flows. [S0098-2202(00)02403-2]
