Abstract

The mean parameters of an incompressible equilibrium turbulent boundary layer (TBL) with zero pressure gradient (ZPG) were measured on the nozzle flat wall and on the perforated wall of the TsAGI T-128 transonic wind tunnel in the range \(Re_{\theta } = 5.3\times 10^4 - 3\times 10^5\)—velocity profiles, skin friction coefficient, and shape factor. Novel data were obtained for TBL ZPG on perforated wall in the range \(Re_{\theta } \approx 8.2\times 10^4 - 3\times 10^5\). This study supplements existing TBL ZPG data on the smooth wall at very high Reynolds numbers and enrich them by presenting novel results in the Reynolds number range \(Re_{\theta } = 2.35\times 10^5 - 2.9\times 10^5\).
