Abstract
An advanced version of the aerofoil probe turbulence gauge is described. The new device uses an axisymmetric lifting body sensor of 2.4 mm diameter coupled directly to a miniature preamplifier unit (6.35 mm diam). The output voltage varies linearly with the v or w component of turbulence. The device has uniform sensitivity and good signal‐to‐noise ratio over a nominal frequency range of 10–10 000 Hz. A discussion of calibration procedures and application considerations is included.Keywords
