Abstract

Experiments on heat transfer over Mach 8, 15° compression corner flow affected by Görtler-like reattachment vortices of controllable intensity are carried out in the shock wind tunnel UT-1 M (TsAGI). Experiments cover two Reynolds numbers Re∞,L=(1.75±0.08) × 105 and Re∞,L=(3.90±0.15) × 105 based on the sharp flat plate length at which the reattachment flow is close to laminar or beginning transitional, respectively. The effect of streamwise vortices of different intensity on spanwise variations of the heat flux and its spanwise-averaged level at the reattachment region is investigated. The intensity of the vortices is varied by accurate controlling the height of a spanwise rake of cylindrical pins (seeding elements) placed on the plate ahead of the separation bubble.
