The effect of air microblowing through a porous wall on the properties of a turbulent boundary layer formed on a flat plate in an incompressible flow is studied experimentally. The Reynolds number based on the momentum thickness of the boundary layer in front of the porous insert is 3 900. The mass flow rate of the blowing air per unit area was varied within Q = 0−0.0488 кg/s/m2 . A consistent decrease in local skin friction, reaching up to 45−47 %, is observed to occur at the maximal blowing air mass flow rate studied.
