Abstract

Experimental data describing the transonic, turbulent, separated flow generated by an axisymmetric flow model are presented. The model consisted of a circular-arc bump affixed to a straight, circular cylinder aligned with the flow direction. Measurements of the mean velocity, turbulence intensity, and Reynolds shear-stress profiles were made in the separated flow. These data revealed dramatic changes in the shear-stress levels as the flow passed through the interaction to reattachment. Behavior of the turbulence reaction to the imposed pressure gradients was examined in terms of the mixing length and the excursions of the turbulence from equilibrium.
