<p>A self-averaging pitot tube probe has an elongated elliptically-shaped body (42) which produces laminar flow of fluid sub-boundary layers (44) around the body. The body includes upstream high pressure sensing ports (50) and a high pressure sensing passageway, and downstream low pressure sensing ports (54) and a low pressure sensing passageway. The low pressure sensing ports open through respective opposite sides of the body upstream from separation points at which the laminar fluid flow sub-boundary layers (44) separate from the body.</p> |
