Pressure Distribution on a Cylinder
Product Code : JA-FMAHLE-10003
The Pressure Distribution on a Cylinder accessory (SKU JA-FMAHLE-10003), supplied by JaincoLab, measures the pressure around a cylinder placed across an air flow. The cylinder has a single radial hole and can be rotated to any angle, read on a scale and detected electronically, so the full pressure distribution is built up point by point. With a total pressure sensor, this cylinder in cross flow set also measures the total pressure in the wake behind the cylinder.
Specifications
The pressure distribution accessory is specified by a cylinder of 25 mm outer and 21 mm inner diameter with a radial pressure hole, an angle scale and electronic angle detection; measured values are displayed and analysed in software. The base air-flow unit is confirmed on the quotation.

Experiments with the cylinder in cross flow
The accessory is used to plot the pressure coefficient around a cylinder against angle and to relate the wake pressure deficit to the drag on the cylinder.
