Wake-induced bypass transition of boundary layers on a flat plate subjected to favorable and adverse pressure gradients was investigated. Detailed boundary layer measurements were conducted using two hot-wire probes. A spoked-wheel-type wake generator was used to create periodic wakes in front of the flat plate. The main focus of this study was to reveal the effect of the Strouhal number, which changed by using different numbers of wake-generating bars, on the turbulence intensity distribution and the transition onset position of the boundary layer on the flat plate using two hot-wire probes.

In Part 1 an extension of the attached eddy hypothesis was developed and applied to equilibrium pressure gradient turbulent boundary layers. In this paper the formulation is applied to data measured by the authors from non-equilibrium layers and agreement with the extended theory is encouraging. Also power spectra of the Reynolds stresses as developed from the extended theory compare favourably with experiment. The experimental data include a check of cone-angle effects by using a flying hot wire.

High Reynolds

To continue our (Saddoughi & Veeravalli 1994) tests of the local-isotropy predictions of Kolmogorov's (1941) universal equilibrium theory in shear flows, we have taken hot-wire measurements of the velocity fluctuations in complex turbulent boundary layers at several Reynolds numbers. We have studied the plane-of-symmetry flow upstream of a 4 ft diameter, 6 ft long circular cylinder placed with its axis vertical in the zero-pressure-gradient turbulent boundary layer of the test-section ceiling in the 80 ft x 120 ft Full-Scale Aerodynamics Facility at NASA Ames Research Center.
