Abstract
When using a hot wire for velocity measurements close to a solid boundary, errors may be introduced if the effect of the boundary on the rate of heat loss from the wire is ignored. An experimental determination of the effect is described, in which a hot wire was mounted at various distances from a metal surface forming one wall of a two-dimensional channel. The rate of heat loss was determined electrically, and the air velocity at the wire found from the known laminar velocity profile. The application of the results to turbulent flows is discussed briefly.
