Abstract
A two-component, hot-film probe has been developed, to measure the wall shear stress as a vector quantity in time-dependent flows. The probe has been applied for the measurements of the bottom shear stress in a flow generated by combined waves and current in a water basin where the magnitude and the direction of the bottom shear stress varied periodically with respect to time. The probe has also been used to measure the bottom shear stress around a vertical cylinder exposed to water waves generated in a wave flume.
