The results of a detailed experimental investigation of a two- dimensional turbulent boundary layer at zero-pressure gradient are presented. The studies were made at the free-stream Mach number of 5, momentum-thickness Reynolds number from 4800 to 56,000 and wall-to-adiabatic-wall temperature ratios from 0.5 to 1.0. The data are in analytical terms of velocity profile, temperature profile, law-of-the-wall, velocity-defect law and incompressible form factor. Comparisons of local skin-friction coefficients obtained by four different experimental methods are shown. An empirical equation was derived from the shear-balance data to calculate the friction coefficient from known values of Mach number, heat transfer and Reynolds number.

Seven-week test-retest correlations were obtained for need scale scores and individual need profiles for a sample of pre-flight students. The coefficients for need scales were in the 50's and 60's (2 of 15 were below .50). Mean scores on 7 of the need scales changed significantly over the seven-week intertest interval. Of the 74 individual profile correlations, 64 were significant; the median value was .75. There was some evidence that low profile stability was related to a low consistency score on one or both administrations. The test-retest data were compared with other reliability studies of the Personal Preference Schedule. (Author).
