Maximum Heat

A large (3.05 m long × 0.32 m diameter) heated-surface, axisymmetric body, designed for transition research in a 1.22 m diameter water tunnel is described. Boundary-layer transition data are presented as functions of the heating power supplied to the body and the total concentration of free-stream particulate matter in the water. Body surface temperatures range from 0 to 25°C over the ambient water temperature, and the total heat supplied ranges from 0 to 93.3 kW. Transition-arclength Reynolds numbers are found to vary from 4.5 × 106 for the body operating cold to 3.64 × 107 for the maximum heat level considered. The concentration of free-stream particles is shown to affect the transition Reynolds number. These particles range in diameter from 10 to 70 μm and their concentration ranges from less than 5 to 198 particles per cm3. The decrease in transition Reynolds number due to to the higher concentration of particles is of order 30%.
