Abstract: An experimental investigation of the suction side boundary layer of a large scale turbine cascade has been performed to study the effect of Reynolds number on the boundary layer transition process at large (1600000) and moderate (590000) Reynolds numbers. The boundary layer development has been investigated by means of a two-component laser Doppler velocimeter. Time traces of the instantaneous velocities and boundary layer velocity and turbulence fields provide a physical insight of the different transition processes for the two Reynolds numbers. Surface mounted hot-film gauges were used to measure the quasi wall shear layer, which is proportional to the wall shear stress. Statistical analysis of the instantaneous data, including statistical moments, probability density function and intermittency function distributions, provides quantitative information on the state of advancement of the transition process at the two different Reynolds numbers.
