Abstract

An experimental investigation of the fluid mechanics of the transpired turbulent boundary layer in zero and adverse pressure gradients was carried out on the Stanford Heat and Mass Transfer Apparatus. Profiles of (a) the mean velocity, (b) the intensities of the three components of the turbulent velocity fluctuations and (c) the Reynolds stress were obtained by hot-wire anemometry. The wall shear stress was measured by using an integrated form of the boundary-layer equation to ‘extrapolate’ the measured shear-stress profiles to the wall.

The two experimental adverse pressure gradients corresponded to free-stream velocity distributions of the type u∞ ∞ xm, where m = −0·15 and −0·20, x being the streamwise co-ordinate. Equilibrium boundary layers (i.e. flows with velocity defect profile similarity) were obtained when the transpiration velocity v0 was varied such that the blowing parameter B = pv0u∞/τ0 and the Clauser pressure-gradient parameter $\beta\equiv\delta_1\tau_0^{-1}\,dp/dx $ were held constant. (τ0 is the shear stress at the wall and δ1 is the displacement thickness.)

Tabular and graphical results are presented.
