Insertion depth effect for vane anemometers

Project Description

Measurement error of 4 vane anemometers will be measured as a function of their insertion depth in the participating wind tunnels. The effect of flow pattern around a mounting rod to the meter indication will be investigated in this way. Air velocity fields in front of 3 anemometers will be measured by several participants too. The blockage effect in wind tunnels with different test section type and size will be investigated in this way. 

Progress Report 2025-02-28

Measurements are planned to be finished till March 2025.
Data evaluation and final report should be completed till June 2025. 

Czech Hydrometeorological Institute (Czechia) does no longer participate in this project.

Progress Report 2024-03-06

Measurements are planned to be finished till May 2024. Data evaluation should be completed till the end of 2024. 

Progress Report 2023-03-08

The tests started in August 2022 and are running according to the technical protocol.
A delay up to 2 months might occur due to long time needed for the tests in the initial stage of the project.
