The Development of a Probe for Measuring Three-Dimensional Boundary Layers

Abstract

A remotely operated boundary layer probe designed for use in three- dimensional boundary layer measurements has been developed. The probe is an adaptation of a Cobra probe. The probe has been used to measure three- dimensional boundary layer flow over a yawed wing. Design procedures and final configurations are described. The experimental investigation indicates that the probe is adequate for measuring steady, three-dimensional boundary layer profiles.
