Results of the measurement of flow properties in a two-dimensional turbulent wall jet which is injected into the turbulent boundary layer in the direction opposite to that of the boundary layer flow are presented by varying the ratio of the jet issuing velocity to the mainstream velocity λ. This flow includes the flow separation and the recirculating flow, and so it requires the magnitude and direction of instantaneous velocity be measured. In the present work, a tandem hot-wire probe is manufactured and its characteristics are examined experimentally. With the use of this probe the change in the penetration length of the jet with the velocity ratio is investigated. It is clarified that two regimes of flow patterns exist: in the low velocity ratio the penetration length of the jet changes little with λ, and in the high velocity ratio it goes far from the nozzle with increasing λ. Streamlines, turbulence intensity contours and static pressure contours are presented in the two typical velocity ratios corresponding to each of two flow patterns, and they are compared.
