Abstract

In this paper, we propose a sensor for measuring the three-dimensional (3D) velocity vector of airflows. The sensor, which was a 10 mm spherical figure, had a laminated structure with three channels fabricated inside. The components of the airflow velocity vector were measured respectively by three piezo-resistive cantilevers fabricated in each of the three channels. Experiments with a wind tunnel demonstrated that our sensor can measure not only the velocity amplitude but the 3D velocity direction as well.
