Abstract
It is often supposed that the mean velocity indicated by a yawed hot-wire anemometer is the component of the stream velocity normal to the wire. Experiments have been performed which show that a better approximation is obtained by taking the velocity as the resultant of the normal component of the mean stream and 0.2 times the component parallel to the wire.
