Detailed measurements of mean flow and turbulence in the developing symmetric wake of a smooth, flat plate are presented. The results are discussed in the light of previous data and theories for near and far wakes. It is shown that evolution of the upstream boundary layers into the classical asymptotic wake occurs in three quite distinct stages and takes about 350 wake momentum thicknesses.
