One-Dimensional Dynamic Wake Response in an Isolated Rotor due to Inlet Total Pressure Distortion
… steady/unsteady total pressure probe in non-nulling mode. Both inlet and exit flow conditions were measured in the stationary frame of reference. Results indicate increases in wake thickness and magnitude of total pressure defect as blade loading increased into the distortion cycle. The …

An Experimental and Analytical Investigation of Dynamic Flow Response of a Fan Rotor with Distorted Inlet Flow
… steady/unsteady total pressure probe in non-nulling mode. Inlet and exit data were collected for eighteen different combinations of distortion level, operating point, and measurement span. Frequency response functions were generated and then averaged for each operating regime, span, and …

Implementation of a Conrad Probe on a Boundary Layer Measurement System
… using two calibration functions and a non-nulling method for resolving in-plane flow velocity direction and magnitude over a range of ±30 degrees. This approach to calibration and application offered the advantages of rapid data acquisition with lower energy consumption than alternative …

An actively cooled floating element skin friction balance for direct measurement in high enthalpy supersonic flows
… force resulting from the flow passing over a non-intrusive floating element. The floating head is mounted to a stiff cantilever beam arrangement with deflection due to the shear force on the order of 0.0005 in (0.0125 mm). This small deflection allows the balance to be a non-nulling type. …

Direct measurement of skin friction in complex supersonic flows
… measured the small tangential shear force on the non-intrusive floating element. Semiconductor strain gages mounted at the beam’s base measure the small strains that are generated. By modifying the geometry of the sensing unit, this design can be adapted for a variety of test flows. The use of …

Development and Ground Testing of Direct Measuring Skin Friction Gages for High Enthalpy Supersonic Flight Tests
… flight vehicle. The designs were non-nulling, with a sensing head that was flush with the model wall and surrounded by a small gap. Thus, the shear force due to the flow along the wall deflects the head, inducing a measurable strain. Strain gages were used to detect the strain. The …

Simultaneous direct measurements of skin friction and heat flux in a supersonic flow
… and tested. This gage is the combination of a non-nulling type skin friction balance and a heat flux microsensor. By mounting the heat flux microsensor directly on the surface of the floating element of the skin friction balance, it was possible to perform simultaneous measurements of the skin …

Design, Analysis, and Initial Testing of a Fiber-Optic Shear Gage for 3D, High-Temperature Flows
… flows. This gage is a direct-measuring, non-nulling design with a round head surrounded by a small gap. Two flexure wheels are used to allow small motions of the floating head. Fiber-optic displacement sensors measure how far the polished faces of counterweights on the wheels move in …

A Study of Direct Measuring Skin Friction Gages for High Enthalpy Flow Applications
… second test run. The gage is a direct-measuring, non-nulling design in a cantilever beam arrangement. The sensing head is flush with the surrounding surface of the wall and is separated by a small gap, approximately 0.127 mm (0.005 in). A dual-axis, semi-conductor strain gage unit measures the …

A Study of Non-Fluid Damped Skin Friction Measurements for Transonic Flight Applications
… into the surface of the test plate in a manner non-intrusive to the flow it was measuring. Strain gages mounted at the base of the beam measured the small strains that were generated from the shear forces of the flow. A non-nulling configuration was designed such that the deflection of the …
