The two diskettes supplied contain the information used in the
calculations for the paper " Perspective: On the Near Wall
Similarity of Three-Dimensional Turbulent Boundary Layers ", (S.,
Olcmen, R.L. Simpson) which was accepted in October/1992 to be
published in December/1992 issue of Journal of Fluids Engineering.
     In the first diskette and in the part of the second diskette
the data gathered through the communications with the original
authors of the referred papers in the mentioned paper above are
contained. The data gathered was either in diskettes or on paper.
Therefore some of the data was typed in before used. In some cases
the data supplied by the original authors did not include all the
necessary parameters, in these cases the information was read from
the figures or tables of the original publications of the authors.
Therefore some of the parameters in the diskettes are only of the
stations which were used in the analysis. For more complete set of
data the researcher is therefore referred to the publications of
the original authors.
     The data gathered are stored in several directories. The list
below gives the directory list and whose data are contained in it:

   DISKETTE I

   ANDRSN1:Anderson-Eaton flow data. For details of this data set
           README.TXT file in this directory should be referred.
   ANDRSN2:Anderson-Eaton flow data. For details of this data set
           README.TXT file in this directory should be referred.
   ANDRSN3:Anderson-Eaton flow data. For details of this data set
           README.TXT file in this directory should be referred.
   ANDRSN4:Anderson-Eaton flow data. For details of this data set
           README.TXT file in this directory should be referred.
   DECFEL :Dechow-Felsch data.
   ELSEN  :Elsenaar-Boelsma data.
   FERVAG :Fernholz-Vagt data.
   BISOM  :Bissonnette-Mellor high and low Reynolds number data.
   LOHMANN:Lohmann's data.
   MULLER :Muller's data.

   DISKETTE II

   OLCMEN :Olcmen's data. For details of this data set the files
           README.HOT and READPRES.LDV files should be referred.

     In the second part of the second diskette under the "LAWOFWAL"
directory the data and the programs used in the calculations of the
above mentioned paper are presented. More explanation about these
files can be found in that directory.
