Abstract

Measurements of the mean flow, intermittent structure and turbulent fluctuations were made in a cold-wall boundary layer at a stream Mach number of 9·4 and Reynolds number based on momentum thickness of 36 800. For these conditions, the r.m.s. sublayer thickness was 32 times smaller than that of the boundary layer proper, and the interfacial standard deviation of the latter was about three times proportionately smaller than has been found at low speeds. The mean flow data, which extended well into the sublayer, revealed a large increase in static pressure from the layer edge to the wall and a quadratic law relation between the total temperature and velocity. While the transformed velocity profile was in good agreement with the incompressible law of the wake, no indication of a linear variation of velocity in the sublayer was detected.

Hot-wire fluctuation data, interpreted with the use of appropriate assumptions concerning the nature of the sound field, indicated that the turbulence is dominated by high-frequency pressure fluctuations whose magnitude at the wall and beyond the layer edge agree with extrapolation of data acquired at supersonic speeds. The static temperature fluctuations agreed with expectations from adiabatic, supersonicdata apparently because they were suppressed by the cooled-wall condition. The fluctuations in the longitudinal velocity component were generally small and differed little from lower Mach number results. The high turbulence Reynolds numbers found generated an inertial-subrange spectral decay, while the longitudinal integral scales were found independent of turbulence mode and about one-fifth the boundary-layer thickness.
