Abstract
Measurements are presented of the wave-number/frequency and wave-number/phase velocity spectrum of wall pressure for a two-dimensional turbulent boundary layer in zero pressure gradient, obtained from a Fourier transform of experimental filtered spatial correlations. This method allows the results to be corrected for acoustic disturbances in the wind tunnel, and for finite transducer size. An empirical form for the pressure field is proposed, based on the measurements, and is used to predict a frequency spectrum correction for transducer size which agrees well with measured values.
