Heat transfer through turbulent boundary layers - The effects of introduction of and recovery from convex curvature

Abstract: Measurements have been made of the heat transfer through a turbulent boundary layer on a convexly curved isothermal wall and on a flat plate following the curved section Data were taken for one free-stream velocity and two different ratios of boundary layer thickness to radius of curvature delta/R = 0051 and delta/R = 0077 Only small differences were observed in the distribution of heat transfer rates for the two boundary layer thicknesses tested, although differences were noted in the temperature distributions within the boundary layer
