A note on the use of surface pitot tubes for the measurement of skin friction in laminar boundary layers
Abstract
A calibration is deduced for the measurement of skin friction by means of a small circular pitot tube attached to a surface. The analysis is primarily concerned with laminar boundary layer but limits are suggested for which the calibration is expected to be approximately valid for both laminar and turbulent flows.
