| Abstract | The status of the spire-roughness technique for planetary boundary layer simulation is briefly reviewed. The last report on the subject was in 1972 and since then the technique has been applied to a wider range of boundary layers and a much greater body of data has been accumulated. A design method is given with particular emphasis on triangular spires which is suggested are as good as those of more complicated geometry. Results of spire drag measurements are described with due attention to blockage and interference effects. Finally, results from a number of spire generated boundary layers are collected together and compared with full scale data. |
