It had negligible vibration and flow oscillation. Its length was 200 channel heights, sufficient to produce fully developed turbulent flow.

The turbulence production and the correlation coefficient were calculated. Velocity spectra were measured for both the normal and streamwise velocity fluctuations at four to nine normal locations. Measurements were taken as close as y$\\sp+$ = 0.6 viscous units away from the wall. The experiments were conducted at Reynolds numbers of 2457, 2777, and 18,339. The experimental results were compared to the computer simulation channel flow by Kim, Moin, and Moser. Very good agreement was found.","Measurements were also made of the differential surface pressure over two sinusoidal waves. Wave amplitudes of 0.0123 and 0.03125 inches were used. Both waves had two inch wavelengths. Viscous fluid was used to extend the range of the measurements over a much larger range of Reynolds numbers than had been previously reported. Non-linearities were found at low Reynolds numbers in the differential pressure distribution over the 0.03125 inch amplitude wave, indicating a quasi-separated or separated flow. The differential pressure distribution over the 0.0123 inch amplitude wave demonstrated a linear, sinusoidal response. The experimental data were compared to computer models developed in this laboratory and were found to demonstrate only fair agreement. This is not unexpected, since the computer models predict a linear response over all experimental Reynolds numbers examined.","Made available in DSpace on 2011-05-07T13:14:43Z (GMT).
