Abstract
Velocity fluctuations, measured via multi-wire probes, are very sensitive to misalignment between the calibration coordinate system and that of the wind tunnel. The present study proposes a scheme to correct the erroneous velocity fluctuations processed from a misaligned calibration while investigating a wall-bounded turbulent shear flow. The scheme is based on the premise that the viscous-scaled spectral energy distribution in the small-scales is invariant with Reynolds number and solely depends on the viscous-scaled spatial resolution of the sensor. Energy spectra processed from the misaligned calibration, in this small-scale range, are compared with the ‘expected’ spectra obtained via syn..
