Abstract

Experiments were performed to calibrate Preston probes for high Reynolds number applications. The results extend previous calibrations to Reynolds numbers that arc approximately 30 times larger, The new calibration is valid in the range 6.4 < x^* < 11.3 (4.3 < y^* < 8.7 and 280 < D⁺ < 45,000). Within this range, the wall shear stress may be found to better than ±0.8%, as long as inner layer scaling applies up to a wall distance equal to the probe diameter.
