Summary
In order to study the effects of the unsteadiness of the flow on the boundary layer flow and its turbulence structure, an oscillating turbulent boundary layer has been investigated experimentally in a wind tunnel in which a flat plate is driven sinusoidally parallel to the constant freestream. Turbulent patches, which appear in the transition region, were also examined to compare its structure with that of the fully turbulent layer.
