The fluid mechanics problem of the flow in the junction of a wing and aircraft fuselage is of both practical and academic importance. The adverse pressure gradient caused by the wing leading edge propagates upstream and leads to the separation of the boundary - layer on the fuselage. This paper reports measurements of the turbulent shear flow behind a wing - body junction. Basic physical properties of the flow are illuminated by the experimental data which include the skin - friction lines and coefficient, the static pressure coefficient and the mean velocity components.
