Summary

Measured characteristics of compressible constant pressure adiabatic turbulent boundary layers are correlated in an incompressible frame of reference with the aid of a modification of the well known Mager compressibility transformation. Quite good data collapse is obtained although the transformation is shown to be deficient in the outer regions of the boundary layer. The results will be used to produce data sheets of constant pressure adiabatic turbulent boundary layer properties.
