Abstract:

This report describes the results of analytical, numerical, and experimental investigations of incompressible and compressible boundary layers. The subjects considered are 1 Laminar andor turbulent numerical boundary-layer calculations in which the Reynolds stress is related to the turbulent kinetic energy 2 an analytical investigation of turbulence near a wall which is not founded on classical mixing-length theory 3 analytical solutions for relating velocity and temperature throughout turbulent boundary layers for nonunity Prandtl numbers 4 a description of the data reduction of pitot pressure measurements utilizing these analytical results, and 5 the application of the numerical and analytical results to the analysis of turbulent boundary-layer measurements made in the Propulsion Wind Tunnel Facility PWT.
