I'd like to measure TBL pressure fluctuations on the surface of a small tube (~.370" DIA), in water. I found a sensor that fits, but what's next? I have some specific questions, but any other comment on related work/expereince is welcomed:
1. should the sensor be flush, or at the bottom of a small cavity?
2. can I use silicone grease or similar to insulate the sensor from the flow, or to make it flush with the surface (as the sensor sensing surface is flat)?
3. Can silicone grease be removed/cleaned without damaging the sensor?
4. The smallest sansor I found was with Entran (.050" diameter). Any other suggestions?
