Abstract

This paper describes the results of further experimental investigation of the turbulent boundary layer with zero pressure gradient. Measurements of autocorrelation and of space-time double correlation have been made respectively with single hot-wires and with two hot-wires with the separation vector in any direction. Space-time correlations reach a maximum for some optimum delay. In the case of two points set on a line orthogonal to the plate, the optimum delay Ti is not zero. In the general case it is equal to the corresponding delay Ti, increased by compensating delay for translation with the mean flow. Taylor's hypothesis may be applied to the boundary layer at distances from the wall greater than 3% of the layer thickness. Space-time isocorrelation surfaces obtained with optimum delay have a large aspect ratio in the mean flow direction, even if they are relative to a point close to the wall (0·03δ); the correlations along the mean flow then retain high values on account of the large scale of the turbulence.
