Abstract
The qualitative characteristics of laminar-turbulent transition behind a three-dimensional roughness element in a zero-gradient boundary layer are investigated for high supersonic free-stream velocities. Quantitative data on the distribution of the heat transfer coefficient in the neighborhood of the roughness element and in the wake behind it are obtained. Another object of the investigation was to compare the data obtained for the position of the laminar-turbulent transition zone with well-known correlations used in practice.
