The measurements by Zagarola & Smits (1998) of mean velocity profiles in fully developed turbulent pipe flow are repeated using a smaller Pitot probe to reduce the uncertainties due to velocity gradient corrections. A new static pressure correction (B.J. McKeon and A.J. Smits ‘Static pressure correction in high Reynolds number fully developed turbulent pipe flow (2002)Meas. Sci. Tech. 13, 1608-1614.) is used in analyzing all data. Click on the links given below to obtain the data files for each Reynolds number. The files are text files. The Reynolds number is based on pipe diameter and average velocity. There are 25 profiles altogether. The facility is described here . For a more complete description of the facility, data acquisition and analysis procedures, see:
