In this paper, a microcapacitive wall shear stress sensor for the measurement of skin friction is developed. The design objective is to measure wall shear stress in the range of 1.25-2.45 kPa in laminar boundary layers. Mechanical behavior of the sensing elements, capacitive variations, and sensor's

β¦ Synopsis
The paper presents a new type of local wall shear stress sensor made of a high-porosity material with filter grade 40 p.m. The pressure variation caused by the shear stress acting on the surface can be transferred in this porous material, while the effect of the momentum change of the fluid is eliminated. Having neither protrusions nor cavities on the wall surface, the sensor presents little disturbance of the measured boundary layer. A pressure difference reading of the sensor is directly proportional to the local wall shear stress z and the wall shear stress can be written as z = CAP. The present investigation also deals with problems of sensor design and its influence on the performance of the sensor.
