Description

An integrated aerodynamic three-hole pressure probe (THP) based on a fiber-optic tip sensor array for high-velocity flow field vector measurement is developed and demonstrated in wind tunnel testing. The sensor array consisting of three miniature pressure fiber-tip sensors is integrated into three pressure conduits inside top area of the THP, which serves to mitigate pneumatic pressure loss and is expected for a more reliable analysis of flow characteristics. Fast real-time data acquisition is implemented by a compact self-developed multi-channel white light interferometry (WLI) interrogator. Well-calibrated maps of the fiber-optic THP are developed in a subsonic free-jet wind tunnel to derive the velocity vectors in a yaw angular range of ±15° at Mach numbers of 0.2 Ma (~70 m/s), 0.5 Ma (~170 m/s), and 0.8 Ma (~300 m/s) while related flow characteristics are analyzed. This work is desired to provide a potential candidate for turbomachinery experimental investigation in fluid mechanics community.
