An experimental study of a three-dimensional, pressuredriven, attached turbulent boundary-layer flow was made at Mach 0.4. Both the mean velocities and the full Reynolds stress tensor were measured simultaneously by a three-component LDA system. Value of the resultant shear stress to turbulent kinetic energy ratio varied between 0.1 and 0.2 and did not remain constant across the boundary-layer. Slopes of the streamwise and azimuthal mixing length distributions in the wall region were around 0.4 and 1.2, respectively. Skew angle of the turbulent shear stress was larger than skew angle of the velocity gradient. © 1988 Springer-Verlag.
