Abstract
AbstractThe high enthalpy and high Mach number effects on flat plate boundary layer flow are examined. In particular, the behaviour of the density profile under high enthalpy, real gas conditions is considered. Mach-Zehnder interferograms of the flow over a flat plate are analysed using a two-dimensional Fourier transform procedure in order to obtain the density field. The comparison between theory and experiment is only fair. It must be pointed out, however, that the real gas effects on the density profiles were found to be small. Estimation of the velocity boundary layer thickness as obtained from a measurement of the thermal boundary layer thickness is seen to compare well with a theoretical prediction.
