Abstract

Abstract

The cylindrical two-dimensional wind sensor employing flow meters is not accurate enough for surface wind measurement. By analyzing the data from wind tunnel experiments, a model is proposed to describe the diametrical pressure differences developed by the flow around a circular cylinder. A method is derived from the model for two-dimensional wind measurement by detecting the diametrical pressure differences. When the proposed method is applied to the data from wind tunnel tests in range of 2~40 m/s, the relative wind speed errors and the wind direction errors are no more than (0.2+0.03 V) m/s and 5 respectively. The proposed method is more accurate than the cylindrical two-dimensional wind sensor using flow meters. Without moving parts, the method is immune to mechanical wear and inertia.
