Total-pressure averaging in pulsating flows.

A number of total-pressure tubes were tested in a nonsteady flow generator in which the fraction of period that pressure is a maximum is approximately 0.8, thereby simulating turbomachine-type flow conditions. Most of the tubes indicated a pressure which was higher than the true average. Organ-pipe resonance which further increased the indicated pressure was encountered with the tubes at discrete frequencies. There was no obvious combination of tube diameter, length, and/or geometry variation used in the tests which resulted in negligible averaging error. A pneumatic-type probe was found to measure true average pressure and is suggested as a comparison instrument to determine whether nonlinear averaging effects are serious in unknown pulsation profiles.

Nonsteady flow-direction measurement

Nonsteady flow probe uses miniature pressure transducers mounted within probe support very close to tube inlets. Response speed depends on internal volume between tube inlet and pressure transducer location.

A probe for measuring temperature and pressure at the same points in a gas stream

Design features and characteristics of a means for measuring total temperature and total pressure at a single point in a gas stream are presented. A rake that provides five such combination measurements is described. Experimental data are included for the aerodynamic recovery and time response of the temperature sensor and for the flow-angle sensitivity of both the temperature and pressure sensors. Data were obtained over a subsonic Mach number range of 0.3 to 0.9 as well as at a Mach number of 1.4.

Most of the tubes indicated a pressure which was higher than the true average. Organ-pipe resonance which further increased the indicated pressure was encountered within the tubes at discrete frequencies. There was no obvious combination of tube diameter, length, and/or geometry variation used in the tests which resulted in negligible averaging error. A pneumatic-type probe was found to measure true average pressure, and is suggested as a comparison instrument to determine whether nonlinear averaging effects are serious in unknown pulsation profiles. The experiments were performed at a pressure level of 1 bar, for Mach number up to near 1, and frequencies up to 3 kHz.

Flow direction measurement with fixed probes

Fixed-position probes for determination of flow direction in one and two planes are tested over a wide range of Reynolds numbers and Mach numbers. The work is limited to tests of a single probe design for two dimensional flow and a single design for three dimensional flow.
