The theory and application of heated films for the measurement of skin friction

The use of hot surface films for measuring skin friction is examined. It is shown that all existing theories, which neglect heat conduction within the substrate, are inadequate in predicting the variation of heat loss from the film with skin friction. A more physically realistic theory is presented...
