Measurement of the Reynolds Stresses in a Circular Pipe as a Means of Testing a DISA Constant-Temperature Hot-Wire Anemometer

Measurements of the turbulent stresses in fully-developed pipe flow have been made as an overall test of the DISA constant-temperature hot-wire anemometer. The measurements were made with single slanting wires and a normal wire. The shearing stress was measured at two Reynolds numbers and compared with values computed from the pressure drop down...
