Abstract
Laser-Doppler measurements were conducted in a plane turbulent wall jet at a Reynolds number based on inlet velocity, Re 0, of 9600. The initial development as well as the fully developed flow was studied. Special attention was given to the near-wall region, including the use of small measuring volumes and the application of specific near-wall data corrections, so that wall shear stresses were determined directly from the mean velocity gradient at the wall using only data below y +=4. It was possible to resolve the inner peak in the streamwise turbulence intensity as well as the inner (negative) peak in the shear stress. Limiting values of (u′)+ and uv + were determined. Turbulence data from the outer region of the flow were compared to earlier hot wire measurements and large differences in the normal turbulence intensity and the shear stress were found. These differences can be attributed to high turbulence intensity effects on the hot-wires.
