SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES
ABSTRACTThe present effort investigates the effects of practical roughness replicated from a turbine blade damaged by deposition of foreign material. statistical and structural characteristics of wall turbulence. Two-dimensional particle image velocimetry (PIV) measurements are performed in the streamwise-wall-normal plane of turbulent boundary layers at momentum Reynolds numbers of 8000 and 13000. The surface conditions include a smooth wall and two highly-irregular rough walls. These rough surfaces have the same roughness topography but differ in spatial scaling. The validity of Townsend's wall similarity hypothesis in the presence of practical roughness is assessed and the impact of this roughness on the spatial structure of the flow is investigated. In addition, stereoscopic PIV measurements are made in streamwise-spanwise planes of smooth-and rough-wall turbulent boundary layers both within and at the outer edge of the roughness sublayer. This data is used to explore the impact of dominant topographical features on the near-wall flow as well as the influence of practical roughness on the spatial organization of the flow.Understanding such effects provides a stepping stone toward efficient modeling and control of practical flows in the presence of roughness.
