Abstract
Heat-transfer measurements have been conducted in the separated, reattached and redeveloped regions of two-dimensional air flow over flat plates with blunt leading edges of various shapes. Especially investigated are the nose shape effects upon the heat-transfer characteristics in these flow regions. Temperature, velocity, and turbulence profiles are also measured in the above-mentioned flow regions. It is found that the behaviors of the separated shear layer play very important parts upon the heat transfer in the separated and reattached regions, and that the correlation between the reattachment Nusselt number and the Reynolds number is developed independently of the nose shape when the reattachment length is employed as the reference length in both of them.
