On the experimental investigation of vortex excited pressure fluctuations

Construction and calibration of a piezoelectric transducer capable of measuring acoustic level pressure fluctuations occurring on the surface of a body due to shed vortices is described. The application of the transducer as a wake survey equipment is also explained. The fluctuating pressure and wake...
