The ultrafast aircraft thermometer, built for measuring temperature in clouds at flight speeds up to 100 m s−1, employs a 2.5-μm-thick platinum-coated tungsten wire as a sensing element. When temperature increases, the wire resistance increases. The changes are amplified by an electronic system. Temperature measurements made in a wind tunnel and during flights show noise that is related to the von Karman vortex street generated behind the shield that protects the sensing element against the impact of cloud droplets. To reduce both the level of turbulence and the amount of water collected on the shield, suction is applied through the slits in its sides. The effect of suction on the flow field is twofold. First, at the Reynolds numbers that the thermometer is operated suction eliminates aerodynamic disturbances. Second, suction diverts the inner part of the boundary layer into the slit. This inner part is a region of strong shear and, therefore, a region where intensive viscous heating takes place....
