Hello, I have a little question regarding airflow.
You have an object in a wind-tunnel, which has a dynamic pressure of 1000Pa and say static pressure of 99000Pa.
If the object has a duct with static and total pressure probes, to maximise airflow through that duct, would you be looking for the highest or lowest dynamic pressure?
The way I approach it is, if the dynamic pressure is high the it will cause low static pressure which has the effect of trying to "suck" air though the duct. So a high dynamic pressure in the duct will maximize airflow. Do you guys agree with this?
Just as an aside, the duct is not exactly in-line with the air flow direction.
