Abstract

Experiments are reported in which the error of a sharp-edged, circular static pressure hole normal to the boundary of a moving fluid is deduced from measurements made with pressure transducers, the diaphragms of which were set flush with the boundary surface. An error curve is presented which covers the range of hole Reynolds number up to a value of 2000.
