MEASUREMENT OF SKIN FRICTION IN A HIGHLY TURBULENT FLOW

The subject matter of the present discussion is the results of measurement of shear stress in a highly turbulent layer, by means of a Preston tube mounted on a plate. The measurement results are used to determine the relation between the value of the shear stress and the indications of the tube and the obtainment of the relation between the friction coefficient and the Reynolds number for two ranges of turbulent flow of 0.5% and 5.5%.
