Abstract

In a deep, turbulent flow with negligible advection, flowing over a surface roughened by regularly spaced, two-dimensional roughness elements, measured Reynolds shear stress decreased as the surface was approached. The depth of the region of shear-stress deficit was of the order of ten element spacings. Streamwise variations in mean velocities were unable to account for the magnitude of the shear-stress deficit, and the log-law estimate of surface shear disagreed with that measured directly by a drag balance. The data are presented as further information on a puzzling phenomenon.
