The measurement of coherent motions in turbulent and unsteady flows is discussed. A technique which discriminates these motions based upon the patterns they create by scattering light from a fog of tiny oil drops is described. It is shown that hot-wire anemometry can be used in this oil fog so that hot-wire data can be conditionally sampled to the visual patterns, giving directly interpretable measures of the importance of the selected features. The three-dimensionality of the coherent motions can also be directly accounted for, using mutually orthogonal sheets of light. Results of step flows, and zero and favorable pressure gradient flows are described.

Experimental measurements of heat transfer (St) are reported for low speed flow over scaled turbine roughness models at three different freestream pressure gradients: adverse, zero (nominally), and favorable. The roughness models were scaled from surface measurements taken on actual, in-service land-based turbine hardware and include samples of fuel deposits, TBC spallation, erosion, and pitting as well as a smooth control surface. All St measurements were made in a developing turbulent boundary layer at the same value of Reynolds number (Rex≅900,000). An integral boundary layer method used to estimate cf for the smooth wall cases allowed the calculation of the Reynolds analogy (2St/cf). Results indicate that for a smooth wall, Reynolds analogy varies appreciably with pressure gradient. Smooth surface heat transfer is considerably less sensitive to pressure gradients than skin friction. For the rough surfaces with adverse pressure gradient, St is less sensitive to roughness than with zero or favorable pressure gradient. Roughness-induced Stanton number increases at zero pressure gradient range from 16–44% (depending on roughness type), while increases with adverse pressure gradient are 7% less on average for the same roughness type. Hot-wire measurements show a corresponding drop in roughness-induced momentum deficit and streamwise turbulent kinetic energy generation in the adverse pressure gradient boundary layer compared with the other pressure gradient conditions. The combined effects of roughness and pressure gradient are different than their individual effects added together. Specifically, for adverse pressure gradient the combined effect on heat transfer is 9% less than that estimated by adding their separate effects. For favorable pressure gradient, the additive estimate is 6% lower than the result with combined effects. Identical measurements on a “simulated” roughness surface composed of cones in an ordered array show a behavior unlike that of the scaled “real” roughness models. St calculations made using a discrete-element roughness model show promising agreement with the experimental data. Predictions and data combine to underline the importance of accounting for pressure gradient and surface roughness effects simultaneously rather than independently for accurate performance calculations in turbines.

In the article using a liquid crystal thermography investigated the development of stationary and secondary disturbances, which were excited by cylindrical and two-dimensional roughness elements. It was shown, that two-dimensional roughness element has a destabilizing effect on disturbances, induced by cylindrical roughness element. Also the twodimensional roughness element is able to excite the stationary structures, and then the secondary disturbances the frequency interval of which is lower than in the case of stationary vortices excitation by cylindrical roughness element
