Abstract
Measurements of the velocity, pressure, and turbulence behind a series of normal plates in the uniform test section of an air tunnel are described, the oscillation of the wake being prevented in all but one test through use of symmetrically located tail plates. By a combination of experimental and computational techniques, details of the pattern of flow over a wall on a plane boundary in an infinite fluid are closely approximated. A significant difference is indicated between the characteristics of such a flow and those of the flow past an isolated plate with oscillating wake.Keywords
