Abstract
A detailed numerical investigation on the corrections needed by hot-wire velocity measurements in wall vicinity was performed. In the case of a perfectly conducting wall the computed results agreed well with available experimental data. At first, the numerical results for the case of an adiabatic wall contradicted previous experimental observations. However, a precise evaluation led to a better understanding of the entire problem.
