Theoretical and Experimental Characterization of Turbulent Heat Transfer in Compressible Flows
Abstract
The objective of this effort is to obtain improved scaling parameters and relationships for the velocity profile and the heat transfer in turbulent flows, which can be utilized to improve modeling approaches. Since no exact solutions can be expected, the PI is relying on scaling arguments and asymptotic analyses which require experimental and/or numerical input to determine the correct similarity parameters. This in turn necessitates hypersonic testing to be performed in a Mach 8 flow facility available to the PI in Princeton University Gas Dynamics Lab together with novel instrumentation recently developed by the PI.
