ABSTRACT:
A method for locating two dimensional critical flow features on a surface of a three dimensional body immersed in a fluid stream is presented. The method includes applying a hot film sensor array on the surface of the body. The hot film sensor array includes a plurality of hot film sensor elements disposable in a two dimensional array over at least a portion of the body surface. Each sensor element is connected to an associated anemometer circuit to provide an output voltage. The method further comprises obtaining output voltage data for each hot film sensor element with the body immersed in the fluid stream under a set of flow conditions and processing the hot film sensor element output voltage data to locate at least one two dimensional critical flow feature on the body surface.
