In this paper, the results of an experimental study of the time-resolved structure of a thermal boundary layer in a pulsating channel flow are presented. The developing laminar regime is investigated. Two techniques were used for time-resolved temperature measurements: a nonintrusive, pure-rotational CARS method and cold-wire anemometry. Results are presented for differing degrees of flow reversal, and the data show that the primary impact of reversed flow is an increase in the instantaneous thermal boundary-layer thickness and a period of decreased instantaneous Nusselt number. For the developing laminar parameter space spanned by the experiments, time-averaged heat-transfer enhancements as high as a factor of two relative to steady flow are observed for nonreversing and partially reversed pulsating flows. It is concluded that reversal is not necessarily a requirement for enhancement.
