Abstract
A thin-film, heated-element probe is calibrated to measure fluctuating skin friction. The probe is mounted flush with the surface of a flat plate which is oscillated in its own plane, in the direction of the air stream. The relationship between fluctuating heat transfer from the film and fluctuating skin friction is discussed theoretically using Lighthill's (1954) technique.Keywords
