Abstract: Pitot probes are commonly used for characterizing freestream disturbances in supersonic and hypersonic wind tunnels. However, disturbance resonance between the detached shock and probe surface prevents Pitot pressure from representing true post-shock stagnation pressure fluctuations,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1155/2021/5599116
Abstract: In-flight ice accretion on typical pitot-static systems is numerically investigated to reveal their performance deterioration under both rime and glaze icing. Coupled with the open source computational fluid dynamics (CFD) platform, OpenFOAM, the numerical strategy… read more here.
