Description:
An approximately homogeneous turbulent shear flow is generated in an open-return wind tunnel test-section by a plane parallel-rod grid of uniform rod diameter and non-uniform rod spacing. The grid design is based upon an analysis by Owen & Zienkiewicz (1957). Hot-wire measurements taken in this flow include mean velocities, component turbulence intensities, shear and two-point space correlations, and energy spectra. In addition, microscales, obtained both from instantaneous time derivatives of the hot-wire signal and from two-point space correlations, and integral scales, calculated both from correlations and energy spectra, are reported. © 1966, Cambridge University Press.
