Sensor
• Element which changes its status when in “contact” with the quantity to be measured
![Page 6: Lecture pressure 2012](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060112/556c784fd8b42ac71e8b4826/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Sensor characteristics I
• Spatial and temporal resolution
Spatial and temporal resolutions are coupled because it is not generally possible to distinguish if the quantity to be measured varies with time or if there are pseudo-temporal variations caused by the passage of spatial disturbances.
![Page 7: Lecture pressure 2012](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060112/556c784fd8b42ac71e8b4826/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Sensor characteristics II • Accuracy
• Intrusivity: Non-intrusive methods are really non-intrusive (?)
• Interference
• Robustness
• Calibration
• Linearity
• Cost

Transducer • Element which transforms the changes
in the sensor’s status in an output “signal”
• Typically it is an electrical signal
![Page 9: Lecture pressure 2012](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060112/556c784fd8b42ac71e8b4826/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Ideal sensor/transducer
• Output signal is proportional to the magnitude of the physical quantity
• The physical quantity is measured at a point in space
• The output signal represents the input without frequency distortion
• Low noise on output signal • Sensor does not interfere with the
physical process • Output is not influenced by other
variables

Basic Definitions I
In an internal point of a fluid the pressure can be defined as the mean of the three normal stress components acting over three surface elements orthogonal to each other in the point at rest with respect to the fluid. For a fluid in motion this value is called static pressure (definition by Aeronautical Research Council ).
![Page 11: Lecture pressure 2012](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060112/556c784fd8b42ac71e8b4826/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Basic Definitions II If the fluid is brought to rest with an isentropic and adiabatic process, the pressure rises until a maximum that is called the total pressure. The stagnation pressure is the pressure measured when the velocity is zero. The dynamic pressure is the difference between the total and the static pressure.

Static pressure
Ideally the static pressure should be measured with a pressure probe that moves at the same velocity as the fluid particle. But unpractical!
Instead chose a stationary probe with respect to the laboratory (or airplane), choose a suitable shape and position the probe in a place where the pressure is equal to the static pressure of the undisturbed flow.

Static pressure probe

ps-patm
• WALL TAPPINGS • On a wing or in pipes and ducts the static
pressure can be measured using holes in the surface (give attention to the sensitivity of the dimensions and the shape of the holes).
![Page 16: Lecture pressure 2012](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060112/556c784fd8b42ac71e8b4826/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Static probes
• The probe must be aligned with the flow (this effect can be reduced by using several holes)
• Since the pressure is measured with holes, then the same problems of the wall tappings must be considered – Effects of tip shape (geometry depends from flow
regime) – Effects of probe blockage – Effects of hole position – Effects of the support
![Page 17: Lecture pressure 2012](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060112/556c784fd8b42ac71e8b4826/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Blockage effect
• Nose acceleration and probe support effects may compensate
![Page 18: Lecture pressure 2012](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060112/556c784fd8b42ac71e8b4826/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Wall tappings • The flow is very complex in proximity of the
tapping (only low Re simulations) – Effects of orifice shape – Effects of orifice orientation – Effects of surface orientation – Shape and position of the cavity (minimum depth) – Compressibility – Effects of the tapping orifice condition – Effect of the distance from the measured point
![Page 19: Lecture pressure 2012](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060112/556c784fd8b42ac71e8b4826/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Effect of d+
• Less influence when d increases McKeon and Smits MST (2002)

Total pressure probe The stagnation pressure is obtained when the fluid is brought to rest through an isentropic and adiabatic process. In subsonic flow the Pitot tube measures the stagnation pressure (French hydraulic engineer 1695-1771)
![Page 22: Lecture pressure 2012](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060112/556c784fd8b42ac71e8b4826/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Total pressure probe • In supersonic flow there is a stagnation pressure
loss over the shock wave that is formed in front of the tube
• Flat, hemisherical or elliptic head. In supersonic flow typically sharp wedge front.
![Page 23: Lecture pressure 2012](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060112/556c784fd8b42ac71e8b4826/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Total pressure probe
• Effects of finite dimensions – Pressure measured in a finite region (not a
single streamline) -> spatial averaging – This effect can be limited with small probes
(be careful! : robustness, time response) – Blockage (d/L)
• Directional sensitivity
![Page 25: Lecture pressure 2012](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060112/556c784fd8b42ac71e8b4826/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Total pressure probe – direction sensitivity
Less sensitivity to the inclination of the flow in respect to the longitudinal axis than the static pressure probe.

Total pressure probe
• Effects of viscosity (in high Reynolds number measurement Red can be low due to the small dimensions of the probe)

Total pressure – velocity gradient
1) Indicated Pitot pressure > total pressure of the undisturbed flow if a Pitot tube is operated in a region where the total pressure varies in a direction ortoghonal to the asymptotic flow (e.g Boundary layer).
![Page 28: Lecture pressure 2012](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060112/556c784fd8b42ac71e8b4826/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Total pressure – velocity gradient
1) Velocity gradient interference 2) With the presence of a flat wall parallel to the probe axis there could be a reflection effect with the consequent measured pressure higher than the total pressure. This effect is negligible for y>2d from the wall.

Total pressure – velocity gradient
• Error 1) is normally corrected by changing the probe position rather than correcting the flow velocity
• This is based on analytical displacement correction for a sphere in a velocity gradient

Measurement errors due to turbulence
Another effect is linked to the radial gradient of the static pressure due to the fluctuations
This is of the opposite sign than the turbulence one. Therefore they compensate.

Pressure transducers
s
Absolute pressure transducer Measures the pressure relative to perfect vacuum pressure. (Example: barometer, used also for compressible flow) Gauge pressure transducer Measures the pressure relative to a given atmospheric pressure at a given location. (Example a tire pressure gauge). Vacuum pressure transducer This sensor is used to measure small pressures less than the atmospheric pressure. Differential pressure transducer This sensor measures the difference between two or more pressures introduced as inputs to the sensing unit.
