Measurements of the turbulent pressure field on the outer surface of a 3 inch diameter cylinder were made at a point 24 feet downstream of the origin of the turbulent boundary layer. The root-mean square wall pressure was 2.42 times the wall shear stress. The normalized power spectrum at high frequencies contained twice the energy density of the spectrum beneath a plane boundary layer. The convection speed was the same as that in a plane boundary layer but the eddy size was smaller by a factor of two. The smaller eddy size and unchanged convection speed account for the greater energy in the spectrum at high frequencies. (Author).
