Abstract
This survey covers recent developments and applications of four skin-friction measurement techniques (oil-film interferometry, wall hot wire, surface fence and wall pulsed wire). Comparisons of the techniques with each other and with other methods are presented. Applications in attached and separated fully turbulent boundary layers and in highly accelerated laminar-like flows will be shown to demonstrate the application range and the limits of the various techniques.Keywords
