A detailed study of the heat transfer for tangential air injection through a single slot into a turbulent boundary layer on a flat plate is presented; the results apply to a specific slot size, one injection rate, and a fixed free-stream velocity. Boundary-layer velocity and temperature profiles for a number of positions downstream from the point of injection are presented as well as plate-temperature distribution and heat-transfer data for adiabatic and constant heat input-wall boundary conditions.

An experimental research program was conducted to determine the influence of free-stream turbulence on zero pressure gradient, fully turbulent boundary layer flow. Connective heat transfer coefficients and boundary layer mean velocity and temperature profile data were obtained for a constant free-stream velocity of 30 m/s and free-stream turbulence intensities ranging from approximately 1/4 to 7 percent. Free-stream multicomponent turbulence intensity, longitudinal integral scale, and spectral distributions were obtained for the full range of turbulence levels. The test results with 1/4 percent free-stream turbulence indicate that these data were in excellent agreement with classic two-dimensional, low free-stream turbulence, turbulent boundary layer correlations. For fully turbulent boundary layer flow, both the skin friction and heat transfer were found to be substantially increased (up to ∼ 20 percent) for the higher levels of free-stream turbulence. Detailed results of the experimental study are presented in the present paper (Part I). A comprehensive analysis is provided in a companion paper (Part II).

The effectiveness and the heat transfer have been measured in a system involving the tangential injection of air from a single spanwise slot into the turbulent boundary layer of an external air stream, with the velocity of the external stream increasing in a way that concentrated the acceleration in a region downstream of the initial mixing zone. The effectiveness was changed but little from the value that would have existed had the free-stream velocity remained at its initial value and both temperature profiles and analytical considerations show that this invariability of the effectiveness is associated with thermal boundary-layer thicknesses that are much larger than the hydrodynamic thicknesses. Heat-transfer coefficients are shown to be predictable from existing information provided that the momentum thickness Reynolds number is large enough.

Free Stream Turbulence

An experimental research program was conducted to determine the influence of free-stream turbulence on zero pressure gradient, fully turbulent boundary layer flow. In Part I of this paper, convective heat transfer coefficients, boundary layer mean velocity and temperature profile data, as well as wall skin friction coefficient distribution data were presented for five flow conditions of constant free-stream velocity (30 m/s) and free-stream turbulence intensities ranging from approximately 1/4 to 7 percent. These data indicated that the turbulence had significant effects on both the turbulent boundary layer skin friction and heat transfer. In the current paper, these new data are compared to various independent experimental data and analytical correlations of free-stream turbulence effects. This analysis has shown that the effects documented in Part I were a function of the freestream turbulence intensity, the turbulence length scale, and the boundary layer momentum thickness Reynolds number. In addition, the Reynolds analogy factor (2St/cf) was shown to increase by just over 1 percent for each 1 percent increase in free-stream turbulence level. New correlations for the influence of free-stream turbulence on skin friction, heat transfer, and the Reynolds analogy factor are presented.

Laminar boundary-layer heat transfer and shear-stress predictions from existing similarity solutions are extended in an approximate way to perfect gas flows with a large free-stream velocity gradient parameter β and variable density-viscosity product ρμ across the boundary layer resulting from a highly cooled wall. The dimensionless enthalpy gradient at the wall gw′, to which the heat flux is related, is found not to vary appreciably with β. Thus the application of similarity solutions on a local basis to predict heat transfer from accelerated flows to an arbitrary surface may be a reasonable approximation involving a minimum amount of calculation time. Unlike gw′, the dimensionless velocity gradient at the wall fw″, to which the shear stress is related, is strongly dependent on β.
