Abstract
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.

Small silicon based pressure transducers for measurements in turbulent boundary layers

TL;DR: In this article, small silicon-based sensors for the measurement of wall-pressure in turbulent flows have been designed and fabricated using microelectronic technology, and polysilicon piezoresistive gauges were used for detection of the deflection.

Viscous Drag Reduction using Streamwise Aligned Riblets: Survey and New Results

TL;DR: In this paper, the hairpin-like vortex model of turbulent shear flows has been proposed to explain the bursting of low momentum fluid away from the wall and inflow of high momentum fluid back towards the wall.

Study of Mean- and Turbulent-Velocity Fields in a Large-Scale Turbine-Vane Passage

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used laser-Doppler velocimetry and hot-wire anemometry to measure three components of the mean velocity and the six turbulent stresses at four planes within the turbine inlet-guide-vane passage.

The Structure of Turbulence in Fully Developed Pipe Flow

John Laufer
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.

Investigation of turbulent flow in a two-dimensional channel

TL;DR: A detailed exploration of the field of mean and fluctuating quantities in a two-dimensional turbulent channel flow is presented in this article, where mean speed and axial-fluctuation measurements were made well within the laminar sublayer.

Some Features of Artificially Thickened Fully Developed Turbulent Boundary Layers with Zero Pressure Gradient

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.
