Abstract: This invention presents a Pitot tube design and methodology for determining the flow characteristics of fluids in subsonic and supersonic flow, including the effects of viscosity and turbulence.

The resulting expression for flow velocity is applicable to a real fluid of any viscosity and to pipes of any L/D ratios, including entrance effects. Two designs, comprising annular, smooth-bore tubes, with devices for measuring total and static pressures, are presented: one for incompressible flow; one for compressible, supersonic flow. Allowance is made for the viscous component of the flow to become fully developed, in accordance with the Theory.
