Experimental data indicating some effects of free-stream turbulence intensity on time-average boundary-layer velocity profiles and on heat transfer from a constant-temperature flat plate with a favorable pressure gradient are presented for local Reynolds numbers ranging from 4 × 104 to 4 × 105 and for free-stream turbulence intensities from 0.4 to 8.3 percent. It is concluded that, for the range of variables covered by the experiments: (a) The effect of free-stream turbulence intensity on heat transfer through the laminar boundary layer with a zero pressure gradient is negligible; (b) for a given Reynolds number, the local Nusselt number increases with increasing free-stream turbulence intensity when a pressure gradient is present, the boundary-layer profiles for these conditions changing with a variation in free-stream turbulence intensity; and (c) no increase in Nusselt number with increase in free-stream turbulence intensity occurs for turbulent boundary layers with a favorable pressure gradient.

A theory for transition from laminar to turbulent flow as the result of unsteady, periodic passing of turbulent wakes in the free stream is developed using Emmons’ transition model. Comparisons made to flat plate boundary layer measurements and airfoil heat transfer measurements confirm the theory.
