This study investigates the effects of near wall disturbances in the form of roughness on a compressible turbulent boundary layer. The studies were carried out using numerical methods which directly solve the Navier-Stokes equations. This provides for unique opportunities to investigate three dimensional structures of the flow as well as avoid the loss of physical fidelity with turbulence modeling. Three cases were ran, a smooth wall case, and two rough wall cases with different heights of the roughness elements between the cases. The results are first visualized with different approaches. Then statistical methods were used to characterize the flow.
