The influence of hole dimensions on static pressure measurements

The pressure measured at a static pressure hole differs slightly from the true static pressure, by an amount which depends on the hole size and shape. The present investigation extends the range of previous work to determine the error in static pressure measurement in incompressible turbulent flow. The observed static pressure was always greater than the true static pressure. The results are presented in dimesionless form as a function of the Reynolds number based on hole diameter and friction velocity.
