Abstract
The results of a detailed experimental investigation of a two- dimensional turbulent boundary layer at zero-pressure gradient are presented. The studies were made at the free-stream Mach number of 5, momentum-thickness Reynolds number from 4800 to 56,000 and wall-to-adiabatic-wall temperature ratios from 0.5 to 1.0. The data are in analytical terms of velocity profile, temperature profile, law-of-the-wall, velocity-defect law and incompressible form factor. Comparisons of local skin-friction coefficients obtained by four different experimental methods are shown. An empirical equation was derived from the shear-balance data to calculate the friction coefficient from known values of Mach number, heat transfer and Reynolds number.Keywords
