Scott-Wilson, J.B. Davies, F.V. Institution Royal Aircraft Establishment RAE Date 1954-09-30 Abstract An account is given of methods used in supersonic wind tunnels for observation of boundary layer phenomena, in particular of the sublimation and oil film techniques. Examples are given of the uses of these techniques. On the fixing of transition a rough guide is given for the minimum size of wire required, with an example of the use of wires. The results of a brief experiment on the profile of an artificially promoted turbulent boundary layer are given.
