— In this study we examine the effect of both the friction Reynolds number Re (cid:28) and the roughness Reynolds number k + s on a turbulent boundary layer following a rough-to-smooth step change in surface condition along the flow direction. To investigate the effect of Re (cid:28) , a set of wind-tunnel experiments is conducted at k + s = 160 while Re (cid:28) is varied from 7100 to 21000. Sim-ilarly, to examine the dependence on k + s , a set of measurements is conducted at Re (cid:28) = 14000 with k + s ranging from 110 to 230. Hot-wire profiles are obtained on a logarithmically spaced grid up to 120 boundary-layer thicknesses downstream of the step change, and the local wall-shear stress is measured directly using oil-film interferometry. Using these data, we propose a new model of the recovering mean velocity profile which accounts for the well-known non-equilibrium behaviour of the internal layer. This mean velocity distribution is then evolved downstream of the step change using the integrated streamwise momentum equation to achieve a full prediction of the mean flow recovery.
