Abstract
This paper concerns the theoretical and experimental modelling of the flat wall, highly heated, compressible turbulent boundary layer. Its final objective is to develop a numerical Navier-Stokes solver and to conclude on its capability to correctly represent complex aerothermic viscous flows near the wall. The paper presents a constructed numerical method with particular attention given to the turbulence modelling at low Reynolds number and comparisons with supersonic and transonic experimental data. For the transonic experiment, very high wall temperature (T w=1100K) is realized. The method of this difficult experimental set up is discussed. The comparison between experimental and computational data conducts to the first conclusion and gives some indications for the future work.
