An efficient way to systematically reproduce inflow profiles across a compressible, turbulent boundary layer for the mean flow variables, as well as the turbulent quantities in one-equation and two-equation turbulence-models, from given external flow conditions and one boundary layer parameter, is described. The reproduced profiles are checked against both experimental results and numerical solution of boundary layer equations. Theoretical analysis shows that a new form of density-weighted velocity, rather the Van Driest density-weighted velocity, obeys the linear-law at the viscous sublayer in a compressible turbulent boundary layer. Especially for non-adiabatic wall at hypersonic Mach numbers, where there are large density gradients, these two kinds of density-weighted velocity could differ considerably. Therefore, the new form of density-weighted velocity proposed in this paper should be employed for the viscous sublayer. It is also shown that power-law fitting for the streamwise velocity gives an unacceptable profile in the viscous sublayer. An efficient way to specify the normal velocity profile is also proposed and tested. The reproduced normal velocity at the boundary layer edge is found to agree remarkably well with the numerical solution of boundary layer equations.
