Minimum length of the Pitot tube?

[QUOTE="boneh3ad, post: 6001431, member: 268837"] Trial and error is indeed a pretty good idea here. Another option would be to estimate the minimum length by estimating the flow field in front of your box through any number of methods, though they would largely be a pain to do. So yes, I'd go back to the trial and error idea. It's low-tech but it's foolproof. Also note, a Pitot probe measures [I]total[/I] pressure, not dynamic pressure. What does this even mean? Pitot measurements are not necessarily noisy. They would be if you don't take the proper precautions, like any other measurement, but this is not something endemic to Pitot measurements. [/QUOTE]
