Abstract

A method to quantify the local inflow vector on a rotating turbine blade using a five-hole static pressure probe was developed at the National Wind Technology Center. The technique permits quantification of dynamic pressure, angle-of-attack, and cross-flow-angle to magnitudes of +/- 40 deg in any inflow direction parallel to the probe centerline. A description of the static and dynamic calibration procedure, iteration sequence for data reduction, and field results are included.
