Abstract

The effect of suction on the wall region of a turbulent boundary layer over a slightly heated wall has been quantified in terms of several aspects of the motion that are related to bursts and sweeps. These events are detected by the modified u-level method (with alignment on the ends of bursts), the uv-quadrant 2 method, and the uv-quadrant 4 method. The mean periods of bursts and sweeps are increased by suction. The regions upstream from u-level detected bursts are more coherent than the bursts themselves. Suction substantially increases the relative contributions from the organized motion to momentum and heat fluxes, ∼(uv), ∼(uθ), and ∼(vθ), and has a lesser effect on contributions to ∼(u2), ∼(v2), and ∼(θ2).
