Aerodynamic Analysis of Cup Anemometers Performance: The Stationary Harmonic Response

Figure 4

Anemometer factor, , regarding the conical cups rotors, calculated for  m/s (a),  m/s (b), and (c), as a function of the parameter ( ). The symbols correspond to rotors equipped with the following cup radii:  mm (rhombi),  mm (circles),  mm (squares),  mm (triangles), and  mm (crosses). The quadratic fittings to  mm rotors (lower fitting) and to  mm rotors (upper fitting) have been also added (dotted lines) to the bottom graph.
