Abstract
The log-stable distribution proposed by the author is found to be in excellent agreement with the observed probability density function for the logarithm of the derivative of the velocity in a turbulent boundary layer. This comparison is made after the determination of two free parameters (μ = 0.2 and α = 1.65) by fitting the scaling exponent of the velocity differences measured in a different experiment.Keywords
