A study of turbulence generation in a hypersonic boundary layer.
Abstract
Extensive hot wire correlation and disturbance convection velocity measurements have been obtained in the fully developed turbulent hypersonic boundary layer on a cone-ogive-cylinder at a free-stream Mach number of 7.2 in the Ames 3.5-foot hypersonic wind tunnel. These data suggest that turbulence production in hypersonic boundary layers may be created by highly three-dimensional disturbances originating close to the wall, similar to previous observations in incompressible flows.
