A critical analysis of transverse vorticity measurements in a large plane shear layerAn evaluation is made of the roles played in four-wire hot wire probe arrays by the influence of (1) the transverse velocity component on pitch angle measurement; (2) the instantaneous spatial gradient of the pitch angle on transverse vorticity computation; (3) the uncertainties in the magnitude of instantaneous pitch angle spatial gradient in the transverse vorticity computation; and (4) the spatial dimension of the microcirculation domain and the evaluation of transverse vorticity. Attention is given to the probe configuration and its computation algorithm.
