The pressure fluctuations exerted on a flat plate by a turbulent boundary layer flow are investigated. The approximate dependence of the mean‐square intensity, spatial scale, and frequency scale on Mach number and distance from transition point are estimated through the use of similarity arguments. The wave number spectrum of the pressure fluctuation distribution over the surface of the plate is expressed in terms of transforms of two‐point velocity correlations and expressions are derived for the driving force exerted on a rectangular piston set in the surface of the plate. It is found that the integral over the boundary surface of the two‐point quadratic correlation function of the pressure fluctuation should vanish, with the result that the mean‐square force per unit area exerted on a large area of the surface should tend to zero as the area increases indefinitely. An idealized model of turbulent boundary layer flow is constructed and used to relate the spectrum and correlation function of the surface ...
