Abstract
Experiments are discussed in an adverse pressure gradient boundary layer, which develops on a flat plate in a windtunnel. The skin friction is measured with a drag balance and velocity profiles are measured with a hot-wire. The measured velocity profiles deviate from the standard logarithmic profile valid for the zero pressure gradient case.
