Lecture #17Boundary LayerMeasurements
Boundary layer Thickness* Displacement ThicknessMomentum Thickness
Objectives of this Lab
• To obtain a better understanding of the characteristics of a boundary layer over an airfoil.
• To gain an understanding of the value of using a constant temperature hot wire anemometry (CTA) to acquire boundary layer measurements.
• Analyze both a laminar and turbulent boundary layer.
• Compare data with boundary layer data for a flat plate.
Instantaneous and Averaged Boundary Layer Profiles

Boundary Layer Thickness
Boundary layer Thickness
Boundary layer thickness is generally defined as the height above the surface where the velocity reaches 99% of the freestream velocity.
Displacement ThicknessLaminar B.L.
Momentum Thickness
The rate of mass flow across an element of the boundary layer is ( u dy) and the mass has a momentum ( u2 dy ) The same mass outside the boundary layer has the momentum ( u ue dy)
is a measure of the reduction in momentum transport in the Boundary Layer
Empirical Equations of Laminar Boundary Layer Parameters
• Boundary Layer Thickness
• Momentum Thickness
• Displacement Thickness
• Skin Friction Coefficient
Empirical Equations of Turbulent Boundary Layer Parameters
• Boundary Layer Thickness
• Momentum Thickness
• Displacement Thickness
• Skin Friction Coefficient
Skin Friction Coefficient
Mean and Fluctuating Streamwise Velocity Components
• Velocity in streamwise direction
• Instantaneous, mean and RMS velocities

Hot Wire Calibration
• Determine relationship between Hot Wire Output Voltage, E and the Actual Mean Flow Velocity
• King’s Law
Hot Wire Anemometer
Thermal Anemometry
• Frequency Response: > 200 Kilohertz• Size: 5mm in diameter by 2mm long• Velocity range• Component Resolution: Hot wires can be used to resolve
one , two and three components of flow field velocity.• Accuracy: Hot wires are very repeatable. Accuracy is
really a function of how closely the calibration conditions are reproduced. Velocities can be measured to within < 2% of the actual velocity.
• Resolution: One part in 10,000 can be accomplished with a hot wire system.
Influence of Adverse Pressure Gradient
Adverse Pressure Gradient dp/dx>0 can cause flow separation
