Recent advancements in velocity measurements to understand high Reynolds number (Re) wall turbulence have pushed the boundaries of sensor size required to resolve the smallest scales. We present here a framework for studying the effect of finite sensor size on velocity measurements, and scrutinize in detail the behaviour of single-wire hot-wires. Starting with a general linear filter, expressio...

The effect of cup anemometer shape parameters, such as the cups' shape, their size, and their center rotation radius, was experimentally analyzed. This analysis was based on both the calibration constants of the transfer function and the most important harmonic term of the rotor's movement, which due to the cup anemometer design is the third one. This harmonic analysis represents a new approach...

The experimental study of air movement induced by natural ventilation in greenhouses requires a system to measure the air velocity "eld. A networked, two-dimensional sonic anemometer system was developed for simultaneous measurement of the instantaneous air speed and direction at 12 locations. The system performance was tested and validated against a mass #ow controller and a commercial, three-...
