A THRUST ANEMOMETER FOR THE MEASUREMENT OF THE TURBULENT WIND VECTOR

Abstract

An improved version of a three component thrust anemometer is discussed. The design criteria and specifications of its component parts are outlined. Results of laboratory and wind tunnel tests are described which were designed to test the static characteristics and frequency response of the anemometer as well as results of wind tunnel tests. Rotation tests performed at various wind speeds provide information on the anemometer's ability to resolve the vector wind into its components.
