Abstract

In this paper the influence of temperature on velocity signal in hot-wire measurement of turbulence is analysed. It is pointed out that when the temperature influence is small, the temperature influence on measured intensity of velocity fluctuations is second order small and negligible. However, the temperature influence on measuring longitudinal heat flux is of first order quantity, and must be corrected, or large error will occur. The method to correct the temperature influence on measuring ρ θu and the procedure to decide experimentally temperature influence coefficient have been given.
