Test Time Determination by End Wall Pressure Measurement in an Arc-Driven Shock Tube
Conclusions A probe for the measurement of flow direction in one plane, as well as of stagnation pressure, has been constructed, calibrated, and used in a study of flow about a transonic airfoil. The tip dimensions are comparable to those of the smallest boundary-layer pitot probes in current use, while the resulting data contain an extra dimension of information.
