Abstract The turbulence characteristics of fully developed isothermal air flows through a symmetric trapezoidal duct were examined experimentally using Pitot tube and hot-wire anemometry over a Reynolds number range of 3.7–11.6×104. The measurements included local wall shear stress and the cross-sectional distributions of mean axial velocity, secondary velocities and Reynolds stresses. Four secondary flow cells were detected in a symmetric half of the duct. Although secondary velocity components were typically less than about 1% of the bulk axial velocity, their effect was especially pronounced on the distributions of turbulent kinetic energy and local wall shear stress.
