โฆ Synopsis
The veldcity profiles of a turbulent boundary layer wiยขh zero skin friction throughout its region of pressure rise, measured by Stratford in 7959, are ana]yzed in terms of a law of the wall and a velocity-defect law with a common velocity scale and a logarithmic velocity profile in the regio n of overlap. The analysis deviates from earlier work by Stratford and Townsend. It is shown that the fiow in Stratford's boundary layer, even aร the largest va]ue of xl at which measurements were taken, is not yet in a state of equilibrium. The velocity scale for turbulent boundary layers with zero skin fricfion is proportional to the cube root oi the pressure gradient.
