The Role of Skin-Friction Measurements in Boundary Layers with Variable Pressure Gradients

TLDR
A survey of skin-friction measurements is presented in combination with mean velocity measurements in incompressible two-dimensional turbulent boundary layers with variable pressure gradients in the streamwise direction as discussed by the authors.
Abstract
A survey of skin-friction measurements is presented in combination with mean velocity measurements in incompressible two-dimensional turbulent boundary layers with variable pressure gradients in the streamwise direction. The most important techniques over a span of 100 years will be discussed and compared if possible under the same flow conditions.

Pressure-gradient-dependent logarithmic laws in sink flow turbulent boundary layers

TL;DR: In this paper, a theory based on matched asymptotic expansions was developed to explain the experimentally observed variations of log-law constants with the non-dimensional pressure gradient parameter (Δp=(ν/ρU3τ)dp/dx).

Determination of skin friction in strong pressure-gradient equilibrium and near-equilibrium turbulent boundary layers

TL;DR: In this article, the modified Clauser-chart method was used to estimate local skin friction in strongly accelerated or retarded equilibrium and near-equilibrium turbulent boundary layers that are not very close to relaminarization or separation.

Pressure-gradient-dependent logarithmic laws in sink flow turbulent boundary layers

A Jit D Ixit
TL;DR: In this paper, the system of partial differential equations governing the mean flow was reduced to inner and outer ordinary differential equations in self-preserving form, valid for sink flow conditions.

Über Flüssigkeitsbewegung bei sehr kleiner Reibung

TL;DR: In der klassischen Hydrodynamik wird vorwiegend die Bewegung der reibungslosen Flussigkeit behandelt as discussed by the authors, deren Ansatz durch physikalische Beobachtungen wohl bestatigt ist.

Calibration of the Preston tube and limitations on its use in pressure gradients

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that in sufficiently strong favorable and adverse pressure gradients the inner-law velocity distribution breaks down completely, and it is suggested that this breakdown is associated with reversion to laminar flow.

The Determination of Turbulent Skin Friction by Means of Pitot Tubes

J. H. Preston
- 01 Feb 1954 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a simple method of determining local turbulent skin friction on a smooth surface has been developed which utilises a round pitot tube resting on the surface, assuming the existence of a region near the surface in which conditions are functions only of the skin friction, the relevant physical constants of the fluid and a suitable length, a universal non-dimensional relation is obtained for the difference between the total pressure recorded by the tube and the static pressure at the wall, in terms of skin friction.
