Abstract
This paper describes the interpretation of the hot wire signal from a single hot wire in terms of a universal function. The calibration curves for probes with nominally the same geometry have been studied for deviations in the shape of calibration curves, yaw dependence and the effect of angle of incidence. From these results the basic equations for the interpretation of the signal from normal and yawed hot wires have been derived.Keywords
