Abstract
The results of a systematic experimental study of the flow turbulence level effect on the heat transfer and Reynolds analogy coefficients over a wide range of the relevant parameters (the turbulence intensity and scale and the Reynolds number) are presented. The notion of the equivalent flow turbulence, which unifies the above-mentioned parameters, is introduced. It is established that the skin friction and heat transfer coefficients increase with the equivalent turbulence, while the Reynolds analogy coefficient remains unchanged.
