A high Reynolds number adverse-pressure-gradient turbulent boundary layer experiment was carried out in the large wind tunnel of Laboratoire de Mecanique de Lille using synchronized PIV systems and a hot-wire rake of 143 single probes. We investigated turbulence structures in this flow using the measured two-point cross-correlation.
