Hot-wire measurement in turbulent flow behind a parallel-line heat source

An interaction of the free turbulent shear flow and the steady temperature field, which develops to the homogeneity, was studied. The temperature field was generated by parallel thin heated wires. The isotropic grid turbulence is supposed. Heated wire generates large cross temperature gradients and development of the temperature field was investigated experimentally.
