How to Measure Wind Speed with an Anemometer?
An anemometer is an instrument for measuring air velocity. It can measure the average flow speed and direction; the pulsating speed of the incoming flow and its spectrum; the Reynolds stress in turbulent flow and the velocity correlation and time correlation between two points; the wall shear stress; and the fluid temperature. Before using an anemometer to measure wind speed, understanding the basic working principle will help us have a deeper understanding of the process of anemometer measuring wind speed.
