Effect of stabilizing forces on turbulence
The appearance of expressed discontinuity layers in the free atmosphere, where a warm air mass flows over a cold mass without perceptible intermingling forms the basis of the present report. In these experiments an air stream is to be blown between a water-cooled and a vapor-heated plate. According to what preceded it is anticipated that the exchange will be enhanced. Because these experiments had to be made at relatively low air speeds so as to let the lifting forces become effective, it first required a study of the test methods, and so we have not yet proceeded beyond the preliminary tests on the most suitable hot-wire connections and thermocouples for recording speed and temperature.
