Abstract
A transformation that relates a compressible wall-bounded turbulent flow with nonuniform fluid properties to an equivalent incompressible flow with uniform fluid properties is derived and validated. The transformation accounts for both variable-property and intrinsic compressibility effects, the latter being the key improvement over the current state of the art. The importance of intrinsic compressibility effects contradicts the renowned Morkovin's hypothesis.
