Abstract
Detailed examination of flow measurements over concave pressure surfaces suggests that interaction of Taylor-Goertler vorticity with mainstream turbulent exerts only limited influence in enhancing laminar boundary-layer heat transfer. While transition is primarily controlled by the Launder laminarisation criterion, the Goertler number at which it subsequently occurs is not solely determined by turbulence intensity. Adoption of K >2.5.10 ± as a design criterion for the pressure surfaces of turbine blades would appear to have significant advantages in terms of reduced heat transfer, increased lift, and lower aerodynamic drag.
