Abstract
Summary: The results of extensive measurements which are presented here show the presence of secondary flow in the laminar corner boundary layer which is opposite in rotation sense to that found in the turbulent corner flow. This secondary flow is associated with progressive changes of the form of the velocity profiles. These changes become marked prior to transition and may be linked with the transition process. The laminar corner flow separates readily under the influence of an adverse streamwise pressure gradient.Keywords
