Abstract

Problems overcome with development of new omnivector anemometer. Includes cylindrical sensing element with eight strain gages. Gages, connected in two Wheatstone bridges, sense two perpendicular components of flow across cylinder. Designed and tested, has fixed-position sensing element capable of simultaneoulsy measuring steady and unsteady velocity head and flow direction of moving fluid over complete 360-degree angle in two-dimensional flow.
