Vortex Suppressors Reduce Probe Vibrations
Abstract
Lightweight addition to probe reduces cyclical stress aerodynamically. Life expectancy of instrumentation probe for high-speed flow increased by addition of helical strakes to cylindrical shield surrounding probe. Strakes disrupt vortex shedding normally occuring in fast flows around cylindrical body.
