Extract

The instrument described here is designed to measure mean flow directions and velocities in the three-dimensional boundary layer. Its particular advantage is the small amount of interference it introduces, while allowing measurements to be made close to the surface and providing an acceptably large traverse distance normal to it. In its present form it is restricted, however, to flat surfaces where space beneath the surface is not at a premium.
