DETERMINATION OF THE POSITION OF MAXIMUM VELOCITY IN TURBULENT SHEAR FLOW

In strongly asymmetric turbulent flows, shear stress is finite where the mean velocity gradient is zero, and vice versa. Since this is not describable in terms of an effective viscosity hypothesis, a more complete description of turbulent motion is required. The note describes the design and application of double pitot tube and an inductance type pressure transducer for determining the position of maximum velocity for turbulent flow.
