Velocity Calibration Relationship For Hot-wire Anemometry

Describes a study of the accuracy and suitability of hot-wire velocity calibration relations for implementation on a micro/minicomputer. The investigation has covered simple and extended power laws, polynomial fits of three types and spline fits. The main part of the investigation was related to a t...
