Laminar and Turbulent Boundary Layers in a Plane of Symmetry,

Abstract

Detailed mean-flow and turbulence measurements have been made in the boundary layer in the plane of symmetry of a body of revolution at incidence. These data and the somewhat limited information available from previous experiments are utilized, together with extensive plane-of-symmetry boundary-layer calculations in laminar and turbulent flows, to determine the most important effects of mean-flow convergence and divergence.
