The purpose of this investigation was to complete analysis of space-time correlation measurements of two velocity compents in the wall region of a turbulent pipe flow. The third component was obtained form continuity, and eigenfunctions of the cross-spectral density tensor extracted. Keywords: Large eddies; Turbulen boundary layer.

The existence of three regions of the turbulent boundary layer, each correlating with a distinct part of the non-dimensional mean velocity profile, was confirmed; these are: (a) wake or intermittent region (b) fully turbulent region (c) wall layer region. Details of the flow structure of these regions were further verified using a new hot-wire anemometer and an improved combined-time-streak marker hydrogen-bubble technique. Instantaneous spanwise velocity profiles over a large extent of the flow at many fixed y-positions across the layer were obtained. The study of the flow structure was extended to include both positive and negative pressure gradient flows, including a relaminarization flow. The hot-wire anemometer provided a means of obtaining detailed mean velocity profiles well within the sublayer region. The hydrogen-bubble combined-time streak marker visualization technique was shown to be a useful tool for quantitative measurement of time-dependent velocity fields. (Author).

Boundary layer meteorology is the study of the physical processes that take place in the layer of air that is most influenced by the earth's underlying surface. This text/reference gives an uncomplicated view of the structure of the boundary layer, the instruments available for measuring its mean and turbulent properties, how best to make the measurements, and ways to process and analyze the data. The main applications of the book are in atmospheric modelling, wind engineering, air pollution, and agricultural meteorology. The authors have pioneered research on atmospheric turbulence and flow, and are noted for their contributions to the study of the boundary layer. This important work will interest atmospheric scientists, meteorologists, and students and faculty in these fields.
