Abstract: | The differential pressure reading from a static hole pair is utilized for determination of the local wall shear stress. Both the hole diameter and forward-facing angle are varied to test the sensitivity of the device. The static hole pair in tested in a two-dimensional zero pressure gradient turbulent boundary layer on a smooth surface. The calibrating values for the local wall shear is determined from the universal scaling laws for the mean velocity profile in the inner part of the turbulent boundary layer. The static hole pair is found to be sensitive to imperfections in the manufacturing process, and needs an individual calibration in order to make accurate measurements of the local skin friction possible. |
