Wind tunnel experimental calibration of hemispherical 7-hole probe pressure–velocity parametric equation

Abstract The multi-hole probe can measure the velocity and three-dimensional direction of the flow field at the same time, so it is often used to measure the three-dimensional flow field. Compared with other flow field measuring instruments, the multi-hole probe has stronger environmental adaptabili...

description Abstract The multi-hole probe can measure the velocity and three-dimensional direction of the flow field at the same time, so it is often used to measure the three-dimensional flow field. Compared with other flow field measuring instruments, the multi-hole probe has stronger environmental adaptability and stability, and can better measure the three-dimensional flow field of the middle atmosphere. Therefore, a hemispherical 7-hole probe was designed, a pressure–velocity parameterized equation was established based on the theory of flow around a sphere, and a new calibration method was developed based on this. The calibration is carried out in a subsonic low speed wind tunnel, multiple combinations of flow parameters (inflow velocity and flow angles) are adjusted during the calibration. The results are compared with the numerical simulation results, both are quite close, with a speed measurement deviation of less than 5% and an angle measurement deviation of less than 1°. Our results establish the practicality of the hemispherical 7-hole probe and the simplified calibration procedure, both of which improve calibration efficiency and lower probe calibration costs.
