The results of an experimental investigation of a turbulent boundary layer with zero pressure gradient are presented. Measurements with the hot-wire anemometer were made of turbulent energy and turbulent shear stress, probability density and flattening factor of u-fluctuation (fluctuation in x-direction), spectra of turbulent energy and shear stress, and turbulent dissipation. The importance of the region near the wall and the inadequacy of the concept of local isotropy are demonstrated. Attention is given to the energy balance and the intermittent character of the outer region of the boundary layer. Also several interesting features of the spectral distribution of the turbulent motions are discussed.read more

The Structure of Turbulence in Fully Developed Pipe Flow
TL;DR: In this paper, a hot-wire anemometer was used to measure the turbulent flow in a 10-inch pipe at speeds of approximately 10 and 100 feet per second, and the results include relevant mean and statistical quantities, such as Reynolds stresses, triple correlations, turbulent dissipation, and energy spectra.

Some Features of Artificially Thickened Fully Developed Turbulent Boundary Layers with Zero Pressure Gradient
P S Klebanoff,Z W Diehl +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the feasibility of artificially thickening a turbulent boundary layer on a flat plate was investigated and it was shown that it is possible to do substantial thickening and obtain a fully developed turbulent boundary layers, which is free from any distortions introduced by the thickening process.
