Abstract
Measurements were made of the pressure in a blunt-nosed pitot tube, in an air stream at Reynolds numbers from about 15 to 1,000. The results are expressed in terms of a pressure coefficient , where P is the pressure in the pitot tube, ρ is the density of the fluid, and p and V are the static pressure and velocity in the undisturbed stream. As found in previous investigations, Cp becomes greater than 1 at low Reynolds numbers, the increase being about per cent, at a Reynolds number of 50 (based on external tube radius). In disagreement with the work of Hurd, Chesky, and Shapiro, no decrease of Cp below 1 was found at any Reynolds number.
