Naturally turbulent boundary layers on a cooled flat plate have been investigated at several distances from the leading edge of the plate at a Mach number of 5.2 for three rates of steady-state heat transfer to the surface. Measurements of Pitot and static pressures and of total and wall temperatures made it possible to compute velocity profiles, static-temperature profiles, and boundary-layer parameters without resorting to assumptions. The data demonstrate that the Reynolds analogy between skin friction and heat transfer is valid for all conditions of the present experiments. With increasing rate of heat transfer to the surface, the skin-friction coefficient was found to decrease, a phenomenon opposite to that predicted by theories and empirical relations. On the basis of the present data and other published results of compressible and incompressible turbulent boundary-layer skin friction, a simple relation was devised which describes closely the variation of the skin-friction coefficient with Mach number, heat-transfer rate, and momentum-thickness Reynolds number.

A hypersonic gun tunnel has been used to measure the heat transfer to a sharpedged flat plate inclined at various incidences to generate local Mach numbers from 3 to 9. The measurements have been compared with a number of theoretical estimates by plotting the Stanton number against the energy-thickness Reynolds number. The prediction giving the most reasonable agreement throughout the above Mach number range is that due to Fernholz (1971).The values of the skin-friction coefficient derived from velocity profiles and Preston tube data are also given.

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.

The Mean

A generalized analysis of the results of numerical and experimental studies of air blowing into a turbulent boundary layer through finely perforated surface consisting of alternating permeable and impermeable sections of varying length providing a sudden change in the flow conditions at the boundaries of these sections is presented. The air blowing coefficient Cb determined by the mass flow rate per unit area of the active perforated sample varied in the range from 0 to 0.008. It is shown that as Cb grows, the maximum reduction in the mean surface skin-friction coefficient CF, which is the value through the permeable area of perforated sample, reaches about 65 %. When keeping the equal mass flow rate Q for all tested combinations, the mean skin-friction coefficient remains constant, independent of geometrical parameters of permeable and impermeable sections. Increasing the length of the last permeable section leads to the growth of relaxation region which is characterized by the reduced skin friction values on the impermeable part of the flat plate.

Density Effects

Two compressible turbulent boundary layers have been calculated by using direct numerical simulation. One case is a subsonic turbulent boundary layer with constant wall temperature for which the wall temperature is 1.58 times the freestream temperature and the other is a supersonic adiabatic turbulent boundary layer subjected to a supersonic freestream with a Mach number 1.8. The purpose of this study is to test the strong Reynolds analogy (SRA), the Van Driest transformation, and the applicability of Morkovin’s hypothesis. For the first case, the influence of the variable density effects will be addressed. For the second case, the role of the density fluctuations, the turbulent Mach number, and dilatation on the compressibility will be investigated. The results show that the Van Driest transformation and the SRA are satisfied for both of the flows. Use of local properties enable the statistical curves to collapse toward the corresponding incompressible curves. These facts reveal that both the compressibility and variable density effects satisfy the similarity laws. A study about the differences between the compressibility effects and the variable density effects associated with heat transfer is performed. In addition, the difference between the Favre average and Reynolds average is measured, and the SGS terms of the Favre-filtered Navier-Stokes equations are calculated and analyzed.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the MHD boundary layer flow of viscous, incompressible and electrically conducting fluid near a stagnation-point on a vertical surface with slip. Design/methodology/approach – In the study, the temperature of the surface and the velocity of the external flow are assumed to vary linearly with the distance from the stagnation-point. The governing differential equations are transformed into systems of ordinary differential equations and solved numerically by a shooting method. Findings – The effects of various parameters on the heat transfer characteristics are discussed. Graphical results are presented for the velocity and temperature profiles whilst the skin-friction coefficient and the rate of heat transfers near the surface are presented. It is observed that the presence of the magnetic field increases the skin-friction coefficient and the rate of heat transfer near the surface towards the stagnation-point. Originality/value – The presence of magnetic field increases the skin-friction coefficient and the rate of heat transfer near the surface towards the stagnation-point.

Flow And Heat Transfer

The convection heat transfer induced by a stretching flat plate has been studied. Similarity conditions are obtained for the boundary layer equations for a flat plate subjected to a power law temperature and velocity variations. It is found that a similarity solution exists only for a linearly stretching plate and only when the plate is isothermal. The analysis shows that three parameters control the flow and heat transfer characteristics of the problem. These parameters are the velocity slip parameter K1, the temperature slip parameter K2, and the Prandtl number. The effect of these parameters on the flow and heat transfer of the problem has been studied and presented. It is found that the slip velocity parameter affect both the flow and heat transfer characteristics of the problem. It is found that the skin friction coefficient decreases with increasing K1 and most of the changes in the skin friction takes place in the range 0<K1<1. A correlation between the skin friction coefficient and K1 and Rex has been found and presented. It is found that cf=23Rex−0.5(K1+0.64)−0.884 for 0<K1<10 with an error of ±0.8%. Other correlations between Nu and K1 and K2 has been found and presented in Eq. 28.

Regular Roughness

Skin friction coefficients and heat transfer coefficients are measured for a range of regular and random roughnesses on the suction side of a simulated gas turbine vane. The skin friction coefficients are calculated using boundary layer data and the momentum integral method. High resolution surface temperature data measured with an IR camera yield local heat transfer values. 80 grit, 50 grit, 36 grit, and 20 grit sandpapers along with a regular array of conical roughness elements are tested. Measured skin friction coefficient data show that the conical roughness array behaves very similar to the 50 grit, 36 grit, and 20 grit sandpapers in terms of the effect of the roughness on the hydrodynamic boundary layer. In terms of heat transfer, the conical roughness array is most similar to the 80 grit sandpaper, which are both lower than the roughest sandpapers tested. These data show that the particular regular array of roughness elements tested has fundamentally different behavior than randomly rough surfaces for this position on the simulated turbine vane. In addition, this difference is in the opposite direction as seen in previous experimental studies. In order to draw a more general conclusion about the nature of random and regular roughness, a parametric study of regular roughness arrays should be performed.
