Turbulent boundary layers at Mach 4.9 with the ratio of wall temperature to recovery temperature from 0.5 to 1.5 are investigated by means of direct numerical simulation. Various fundamental properties relevant to the influence of wall temperature on Morkovin's scaling, standard and modified strong Reynolds analogies, and coherent vortical structures have been studied. It is identified that the scaling relations proposed for cool and adiabatic wall conditions, such as Morkovin's scaling and the modified strong Reynolds analogy, are also applicable for hot wall condition. Moreover, the relation between the density and temperature fluctuations under the second-order approximation is derived and verified to provide a reliable prediction. Based on the analysis of coherent vortical structures, it is found that the orientation of vortex core can be quantitatively determined by means of the vector with its direction and modulus using the local strain direction and the imaginary part of the eigenvalue of velocity gradient tensor, respectively. As the increase of wall temperature, the spanwise distance between the two legs of hairpin vortex increases, and the mean swirling strength and the angle of vortical structure with respect to the wall plane also increase in the inner layer. The statistical properties relevant to vortical structures are nearly insensitive to the wall temperature in the outer layer.
