The effect of varying three-dimensional, cylindrical post-type trip size on the mean and turbulent velocity profiles of a Mach 7.6 turbulent boundary layer is examined using particle image velocimetry. It is shown that the effect of under- and overtripping is to amplify the wake component of the mean velocity profile and outer-layer turbulence intensity, confirming trends from incompressible flow. Such results indicate that overly aggressive tripping introduces artificial large-scale turbulence that requires longer downstream distances to decay. For the current experiment, adequate tripping was obtained for trip sizes between 1.7 and 2.3 times the laminar boundary-layer displacement thickness at the trip, δ t r * , with the optimum size approximately 2.3 δ t r * . The wake strength for the optimally tripped cases followed the correlation of Fernholz and Finley (AGARDograph 253, Neuilly sur Seine, France, 1980) at the same Reynolds number, providing a good indicator for under- or overtripping. These results confirm that compressible boundary layers mimic incompressible trends but require larger trip sizes and have increased sensitivity, making a boundary layer free from initial conditions harder to achieve.
