Measurements of the three fluctuating components of the velocity and of the two components of the wall shear stress fluctuations have been made in a fully developed turbulent channel flow at Re=7700 using hot‐film probes. These measurements include rms values, skewness and flatness factors, and probability density functions. Although the wall region is emphasized here, information for the whole channel half‐width is also given.
