Threecomponents of velocity are measured using multiple X-wires and the wall shear stress is directly measured using oil film interferometry. Modification of the normal stresses in the near-wall region, large-scale changes in the skewness and kurtosis of the velocity components, a change in integral length scales of the accelerated boundary layer, and a shift in the energy spectrum each lend support to this assertion. cache/h702q526r8n.txt txt/h702q526r8n.txt
