a pendulum and a vertical falling ball to conduct experiments on the resistance of flow around water and air. In 1732, H. Pitot, a French engineer,
invented a device for measuring the total pressure in the fluid, namely Pitot
tube. Later, in 1905, Prandtl developed it into a device for simultaneously
measuring the total pressure and static pressure of the fluid and established
Prandtl anemometer, also known as Pitot velocimeter (as shown in Fig. 5.3).
In 1915, G. I. Taylor, a British mechanist, designed a multi-tube manometer
