Les anémomètres peuvent être classés en quatre catégories selon le principe sur lequel ils reposent : 1. Les anémomètres dont le capteur utilise l'énergie cinétique de l'air : anémomètres à moulinet et à hélice. [...] 2. Les anémomètres utilisant la pression exercée par le vent sur un capteur stationnaire : tube de Pitot, anémoclinomètre, anémomètre à traînée. [...] 3. Les anémomètres thermiques utilisant la modification des échanges thermiques d’un corps chauffé par l'air en mouvement :anémomètre à fil chaud, anémomètre thermoélectrique. [...] 4. Les anémomètres soniques basés sur la variation de la vitesse de propagation du son dans l'air en mouvement; le son se propageant plus vite dans le sens du vent que dans le sens opposé. 3, record 1, French, - an%C3%A9mom%C3%A8tre

Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Hot-wire anemometer ... is an important device used principally in research on air turbulence and boundary layers. There are two types, known as constant-voltage and constant-temperature. The cooling of an electrically heated fine wire placed in a gas stream which alters wire resistance depends on the fluid velocity. With the constant-voltage type, as soon as the gas starts flowing, the hot wire cools off, the voltage across a Wheatstone bridge connected to the wire is kept constant, and the calibrated galvanometer shows a reading related to the velocity. 5, record 4, English, - hot%2Dwire%20anemometer
