Experimental study of the frequency response of electrochemical split probes to transversal velocity fluctuations

Abstract

An experimental investigation of the frequency response of electrochemical probes to transversal velocity fluctuation is reported. The study has been focused on wall shear stress for a modulated flow due to an oscillating cylinder along its own axes since the wall shear stress has been first numerically determined for this flow. Results indicate that a frequency response correction to probe outputs is required and that this correction depends on the amplitude of fluctuations.

Three-dimensional boundary layer and vortex wake over a cone at high angle of attack: study of asymmetries

“…Many authors have studied the accuracy of this method (Mitchell and Hanratty 1966;Py and Gosse 1969;Labraga et al 1991); in any case, we operate in known experimental conditions, so that the accuracy of the measurement is mainly due to the accuracy of the experimental equipment.…”

Near-wall turbulence in drag reducing flows investigated by the photolithography-electrochemical probes

“…Sirkar and Hanratty [11] at the beginning of the seventies used chevron (or "V" shaped) electrodes and other authors used segmented rectangular electrodes separated by a thin insulated strip oriented in the flow direction [12]. Both the latter arrangements suffer from the following drawbacks:…”
