Injection-Induced Turbulence in strongStagnationstrong-Point Boundary.pdfVIP

VOL. 22, NO. 2, FEBRUARY 1984 AIAA JOURNAL 219 Injection-Induced Turbulence in Stagnation-Point Boundary Layers Chul Park * NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, California A theory is developed for the stagnation-point boundary layer with injection under the hypothesis that tur- bulence is produced at the wall by injection. From the existing experimental heat-transfer-rate data obtained in wind tunnels, the wall mixing length is deduced to be a product of a time constant and an injection velocity. The theory reproduces the observed increase in heat-transfer rates at high injection rates. For graphite and carbon- carbon composite, the time constant is determined to be 2 x 10 ~ 4 s from the existing ablation data taken in an arc-jet tunnel and a ballistic range.
