Report on ETLAT EDA Project: Test of Dummy Sensors in Water Tank

The goal of the 'Test of dummy sensors in water tank' report is to get data to validate the fluid-dynamic numerical models on the thin line array dynamic behaviour. All the partners, involved in the project, have to realize the dummy sensors (3 diameters, length > 5 m) and measurement of the speed and pressure fields around the sensors with water speed up to 5 m/s. In the present document the experimental measures of the speed and pressure fields of water flowing around TLA sensors at max 5 m/s are exposed. In the first part, the Test Plan and Interface Specification between dummy sensors and water tank are explained. Instead, the second part reports the measured speed and pressure fields with different types of TLA sensors. Test performed at INSEAN towing tank.
