Book excerpt: Two wind tunnel tests were conducted in a flow exhibiting a shock-wave/boundary-layer interaction of the type occurring on airfoils at transonic velocities. Boundary-layer pressure distributions were measured with pitot and static probes. Velocities in the free stream and in the boundary layer were obtained with a laser velocimeter (LV) system, and a data reduction program for the LV results was developed. Measurements from the pressure probes and from the LV system are compared with each other and with theoretical computations. It was found that the analytic models for boundary-layer velocity profile and Reynolds stress agree well with experimental measurements. (Author).
