A study of roughness in turbulent hypersonic boundary-layers

The influence of large scale regular roughness on a Mach 5 turbulent boundary layer and a compression corner was investigated on axisymmetric wind tunnel models. Three types of roughness were examined; a series of square cavities at two different sizes and a 45 degree sawtooth. Typical sizes ranged...
