✦ Synopsis

Experimental data for an incompressible turbulent moving surface boundary layer are reviewed and a theoretieal extension of their predictions is suggested for the ease of finite free stream velocities. It is argued that such a boundary layer provides an incompressible analogue for shock-induced turbulent boundary layers. Coles's transIormation is used to predict the behaviour of the shock-induced case from the incompressible analogue. These predictions are used to attempt to correlate the available experimentM shock-indueed turbulent boundary layer data. I t is felt that the correlations are reasonably suceessful for some of the data. I t is suggested that the remaining data have been affected by the premature arrival of the contact region and reflected rarefaction ware.
