A compilation of unsteady turbulent boundary layer experimental data

A comprehensive literature search was conducted and those experiments related to unsteady turbulent boundary layer behavior were cataloged. In addition, an international survey of industrial, university, and governmental research laboratories was made, in which experimental programs associated with unsteady turbulent boundary layer research were identified. Pertinent references were reviewed and classified based on the technical emphasis of the various experiments. Experiments that include instantaneous or ensemble averaged profiles of boundary layer variables are stressed. Detailed reviews that include descriptions of the experimental apparatus, flow conditions, summaries of acquired data, and significant conclusions are made. The measurements of these experiments that exist in digital form have been stored on magnetic tape, and instructions are presented for accessing these data sets for further analysis.
