A. Gatto et al., Mean and fluctuating pressure measurements over a circular cylinder in cross flow using plastic tubing, EXP FLUID, 30(1), 2001, pp. 43-46
Not only can mean pressures on a surface over which a fluid flows be accura
tely measured using a plastic tube which connects the surface tapping point
s to a remote pressure transducer, but the fluctuating pressures can also,
provided that the transfer function, which relates the fluctuating pressure
s at the opposite ends of the tubing, is known. This technique was used her
e to measure the mean and fluctuating pressures on the surface of a circula
r cylinder subject to a cross-flowing airstream in the Reynolds number rang
e from 6.8 x 10(4) to 9.6 x 10(4) based on cylinder diameter. Good agreemen
t with published results gave confidence in the technique.
