Abstract
Summary: In an axisymmetric turbulent boundary layer along a circular cylinder at constant pressure, measurements have been made of mean velocity profile and turbulence characteristics: longitudinal velocity fluctuations, Reynolds shear stress, transverse correlation and spectrum. It has been found that the qualitative behaviour of an axisymmetric turbulent boundary layer is similar to that of a two-dimensional boundary layer in the wall region, where as in the outer region the effects of transverse curvature are observed.Keywords
