Abstract
A probe, for determining local shear stress on the face of a solid surface caused by relative movement between it and a fluid, comprises a 3-dimensional array of seven spaced electrodes constituted of: one electrode at the center of the array, two electrodes equally spaced from said center electrode along a first line through said center, two electrodes equally spaced from said center electrode along a second line through said center and perpendicular to said first line, and two electrodes equally spaced from said center electrode along a third line through said center and perpendicular to said first and second lines. The probe further includes magnetic means for producing a magnetic field in the region of the electrodes.

A probe for determining local shear stress on the face of a solid surface caused by relative movement between the solid surface and a fluid, said probe comprising a 3-dimensional array including seven spaced electrodes constituted of:
- one electrode at the center of the array, two electrodes equally spaced from, and on opposite sides of, said center electrode along a first line through said center, two electrodes equally spaced from, and on opposite sides of, said center electrode along a second line through said center and perpendicular to said first line, and two electrodes equally spaced from, and on opposite sides of, said center electrode along a third line through said center and perpendicular to said first and second lines.
