Abstract

Measurements have been made of the time-mean velocity, all three fluctuating velocity components and the turbulence shear stress in the plane mixing layer produced in an open wind tunnel between two nominally parallel air streams with fairly low turbulence levels. The hot-wire measuring system is described, the evaluation equations derived and the principal results presented.
