If the measuring chambers are subdivided into several subchambers, this means that combining more subchambers, which means an increase in the effective dynamic pressure measuring area, leads to an increase in sensitivity, while combining fewer subchambers to one measuring chamber, which corresponds to a reduction in the effective dynamic pressure measuring area, leads to a reduction in sensitivity.
  • the choice of the total number of subchambers, the choice of how many subchambers are combined to form a measuring chamber, the choice of the opening angle of a measuring chamber, the shape of the dynamic pressure measuring opening, the influence of edge effects of the dynamic pressure measuring opening etc. are determined in practice by the person skilled in the art.

  • the pressure difference between two opposite measuring chambers supplies the sine signal, while the pressure difference between the other two opposite measuring chambers and arranged at right angles to the first pair of measuring chambers provides a cosine signal.

Abstract

Un procédé permet de déterminer la direction d'un courant, la pression, la pression dynamique ou la vitesse d'un courant à partir de valeurs de mesure de la pression ou de différences entre les valeurs de mesure de la pression à l'aide d'une sonde novatrice qui comprend des chambres de mesure pourvues d'ouvertures rectangulaires ou en forme de fentes. Ces chambres de mesure sont agencées en arc de cercle ou le long de la périphérie d'un cercle, une pression dynamique pouvant se former dans ces chambres sous l'influence du courant. Ces chambres contiennent des instruments de mesure pour déterminer la pression dans la chambre de mesure et/ou pour déterminer la pression différentielle entre deux chambres de mesure ou conduites de mesures de la pression agencées dans une partie postérieure de chaque chambre de mesure, ces conduites sortant de la sonde séparément ou après avoir été réunies avec les conduites de mesure de la pression d'autres chambres de mesure. La sonde a une construction de base en forme de disque. Deux disques ou secteurs de cercle perpendiculaires agencés au sommet d'un corps exposé à un courant permettent de saisir un angle solide très large.
