Windtuner Five-Hole Probes: The Secret Weapon for Precision 3D Flow Measurement

20 Oct 2025

Windtuner is redefining aerodynamic testing with its accurate five-hole probes, engineered to deliver accurate measurements in complex three-dimensional flow fields. Widely used in wind tunnel experiments, engine development, and aerodynamic performance testing, these probes capture detailed airflow velocity, flow direction, turbulence intensity, and other critical parameters, providing engineers and scientists with the data needed to optimize designs and elevate performance.

The Science Behind the Five-Hole Design
A five-hole probe is one with five measurement ports strategically arranged on its probe head. As airflow passes through the probe, the pressure differences are detected and analyzed at each port using advanced algorithms. The probe then calculates the fluid velocity, flow angles, and turbulence characteristics. The five-hole probe is designed to complete its measurement accurately even in complex 3D flow fields, that’s why its an indispensable tool for understanding complex aerodynamic environments.
