G. Hetsroni et al., THERMAL STREAKS REGENERATION IN THE WAKE OF A DISTURBANCE IN A TURBULENT BOUNDARY-LAYER, International journal of heat and mass transfer, 40(17), 1997, pp. 4161
The temperature field on the surface of a wall, in the wake of a rib p
laced in the spanwise direction, is studied by using infrared thermogr
aphy. Experimental data on distribution of the heat transfer coefficie
nt are present for various Reynolds numbers, as well as for different
inclinations of the rib to the wall. The effect of flow perturbations
on the temperature of the surface is studied. A phenomenological model
is proposed to describe the evolution of the temperature field. (C) 1
