A rig for the calibration of hot-wire anemometer probes at velocities below 1 m/s that uses a stepping motor to drive the probe at controlled velocities down the center of an enclosed channel is described. A typical calibration curve (over the range 0.02-1 m/s) displays the usual characteristics of

โฆ Synopsis
A new method for calibrating hot-film anemometer probes in water of uniform temperatures has proved to be superior to conventional methods presently in use ยฐ The flow field over probes of typical dimensions and overheat ratios , under natural convection and forced convection at low velocities in water at standard conditions ,indicate Reynolds numbers on the order of 5 to 150.Models for the heat transfer and flow field based upon boundary layer concepts will have dif~culties under these conditions. A semi-empirical model and calibration procedure has been developed to handle this low Reynolds number domain more effectively.
