摘要: Abstract The material contained in this monograph has been divided into six main sections, accordance with the specific applications of pitot tube and other allied pressure probes, viz. for impact pressure, static dynamic flow direction vector velocity, skin friction as well measurements. In most instances, far it could be managed, author tried to incorporate both theoretical experimental aspects on various factors influencing accuracy probes. It is, therefore, hoped that can serve a useful sequel by Bryer Pankhurst, entitled “Pressure-probe Methods Determining Wind Speed Flow Direction”, adding further details topics discussed therein not already included. is intention exclude discussions use probes static-pressure fluctuation This highly specialized field application only reliable measurements at present seem those Elliott ( J. Fluid Mech. , 53 (1972) p. 351). takes great pleasure acknowledging assistance rendered Mr. P. Bradshaw Imperial College preparation manuscript, his advice suggestions matters related paper, also grateful him Prof. Kuchemann suggesting several extra references.
