Abstract
An experimental facility for the realization of plane Couette flow is described. In this, the moving wall is a rigid plate propelled through air by the carriage of a towing channel, and the fixed wall is a stationary bench constructed alongside the towing tank. This particular arrangement makes it possible to introduce the important parameter of wall roughness into experimental investigations of this flow.Keywords
