We investigate the development of isolated turbulent
spots in boundary layers at Mach numbers M = 1.1 and M = 5 for adiabatic and
cooled walls by direct numerical simulations. The turbulent spots show typical
properties known from the incompressible regime, e. g., the arrowhead-like
shape of the spot with the downstream overhang region and streaks in the tail
region. At M = 5 spanwise structures close to the
wall appear in the front region. Strong wall cooling leads to elongated
turbulent spots. Besides the Mach number also the Reynolds number affects the
spot growth.
In the core region of the turbulent spots velocity profiles, skin friction and
heat transfer are evaluated. For one parameter set at M = 1.1 turbulence
statistics are analysed by considering an ensemble of turbulent spots with
slightly varying initial disturbances. For M = 5 the asymptotic spreading of
linear instabilities and its relation to the growth of turbulent spots are
investigated. The downstream spreading of the turbulent spots is faster than
for linear instabilities. In contrast to the adiabatic wall case, the slow tail
velocity of the cooled-wall spots seems to be related to the spreading of
linear instabilities. The near-field reveals waves propagating away from the
spots. In the freestream they are spherical and propagate according to
classical acoustics, while within the boundary layer they appear as distinct
semi-circular patterns.
