Abstract:
The paper is devoted to prove the relation between skewness factor and convection velocity in turbulent boundary layer. It appears that skewness factor can be used as an indicator of convection velocity of coherent structures, which is not always equal to the average flow velocity. The analysis has been performed based upon velocity profiles measured with hot-wire technique in turbulent boundary layer with pressure gradient corresponding to turbomachinery conditions. The results show that the cross product term of skewness factor decomposed by spectral filtering, which is also alternative measure of amplitude modulation, describes the convection velocity in zero pressure gradient turbulent boundary layer.
