Vortex/boundary layer interactionsDetailed and high quality measurements with hot-wires and pressure probes are presented for two different interactions between a vortex pair with common flow down and a turbulent boundary layer. The interactions studied have larger values of the vortex circulation parameter than those studied previously. The results indicate that the boundary layer under the vortex pair is thinned by lateral divergence and that boundary layer fluid is entrained into the vortex. The effect of the interaction on the vortex core (other than the inviscid effect of the image vortices behind the surface) is small.
