The yaw factor kT and pitch factor kN which account for the cooling effects of tangential and binormal velocity components respectively were determined at different yaw angle a and pitch angle theta at velocities of 6 m s-1, 11 m s-1 and 19 m s-1. Based on these measured values, the relative errors in the calculated flow velocity were computed with constant values of kT and kN at alpha and theta =60 degrees , 90 degrees and kT=0, k N=1. The effects of kT and kN cannot be neglected, especially at high alpha and theta . For the DISA Type 55P61 crossed-wire probe, the suitable values are kT=0.30 and k N=1.14. For the DISA Type 55P91 triple-wire probe, they are k T=0.20 and kN=1.01. | Source Title: | Journal of Physics E: Scientific Instruments | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/92796 | ISSN: | 00223735 |
