Abstract
Wall shear stress measurements have always been challenging to be operated in experimental aerodynamics field. Non-intrusive and high-accuracy probes are surely necessary in order to compute such quantity in a region where flow field is most of times not foregone to be predicted. Primary aim of my master’s degree thesis project was to develop a specific measurement technology which was able to acquire pressure information from near wall flow field to compute local wall shear stress values. Designated probe and its relative measuring chain were tested on a simple spherical body, of which aerodynamics behaviour has been widely studied in the past through numerical and experimental tests.
Lots of literature references are indeed available about such topic
