Summary

Following Part 1, experimental data is given for the boundary-layer flow past single roughness trips of spherical shape. Correlations are given for the start and end of transition, for the recovery position and for the effective origin of the turbulent layer. There is evidence of a spanwise array of vortices which are found to influence both the downstream turbulent layer and the wedge growth of turbulence.
