The passive control of compressible boundary layer growth by boundary layer trips
Abstract
The passive control of compressible boundary layer growth by boundary layer trips has been studied experimentally. Axisymmetric trips and three dimensional trips were used in this study. The nomial freestream Mach numbers are 1.5 and 4. The results show that trips are effective in promoting boundary layer growth. Trips are more effective for Mach 1.5 flows than for Mach 4 flows.
