Abstract:Quadrant analysis was performed with instantaneous velocities measured by laser Doppler velocimetry in a zero pressure gradient supersonic turbulent boundary layer on an adiabatic or heated plate. The distributions obtained were close to those for subsonic flows, and were not modified by the wall heating. Moreover, this heating made it possible to extend the analysis to a part of the buffer layer that is characteristic of the turbulence process (y+∼15). This led to a differentiation between the effects of Reyn… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
