On the part played by the local pressure gradient in forming the flow in a corner

Special experiments were made in the subsonic low-turbulence wind tunnel T-324 of the Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics of the Siberian Branch, USSR Academy of Sciences with the aim of making a more detailed study of the conditions of occurrence of transverse flows in the case of laminar flow along a corner. The velocity U of the undisturbed flow was varied from 2.3 to 5.5 m/sec Re₁ = (1.5–3.5) · 10⁵ m^–1].Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 2, pp. 95–100, March–April, 1982.
