Since the diameter of the electric heating wire 11 is much smaller than the distance between the first sharp needle 41 and the second sharp needle 42, the interference of the electric heating wire 11 on the target flow field is extremely small. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the specific diameter of the electric heating wire 11, nor the specific length of the electric heating wire 11.

[0045] In some embodiments, the acquisition unit 2 includes a data conversion device 21; the data conversion device 21 is connected to the electric heating wire 11 in the hot-wire probe 1 through the hot-wire probe rod 4, and is used to convert the flow velocity signal into a first electrical signal; the data conversion device 21 is connected to the thermocouple 12 in the hot-wire probe 1, and is used to convert the temperature signal into a second electrical signal.

Divide multiple velocity intervals based on the velocity calibration range, and select multiple velocity calibration points within each velocity interval. Calibrate the hot - wire probe 1 based on the velocity calibration points and temperature calibration points to obtain the correlation between the velocity and voltage of the hot - wire probe 1 at different temperatures.

[0066] Step S1102: Receive the first electrical signal and the second electrical signal sent by the acquisition unit.

[0067] Step S1103: Determine the target temperature of the target test position based on the second electrical signal.

[0068] Step S1104: Determine the target correlation between the velocity and voltage corresponding to the target temperature.

[0069] Step S1105: Determine the target flow velocity of the target test position based on the target correlation and the first electrical signal.

[0070] In some embodiments, first, the correlation between the velocity and voltage of the hot-wire probe 1 at different temperatures needs to be obtained. The correlation can be obtained by calibrating the test system in a calibration device. Specifically: based on the set calibration range, velocity calibration points and temperature calibration points are determined, and then the hot-wire probe 1 is calibrated based on the velocity calibration points and temperature calibration points, and the voltage values of the velocity and the heating wire 11 at different temperatures are recorded, so as to obtain the correlation between the velocity and the voltage. The hot-wire probe 1 is placed at the target test position, and the acquisition unit 2 receives the first electrical signal and the second electrical signal from the hot-wire probe 1. According to the second electrical signal, the test software in the calculation unit 3 determines the target temperature at the target test position. Then, from the previously obtained correlation, the target correlation between the velocity and the voltage corresponding to the target temperature is determined. Finally, the test software in the calculation unit 3, based on the target correlation and the first electrical signal, by means of interpolation or fitting, etc., calculates the target flow velocity at the target test position by inverse deduction.

[0071] The test method of the embodiment of the present application obtains the velocity-voltage curve at different temperatures through calibration, combines the real-time collected electrical signals and temperature information, and uses the calculation unit to determine the target flow velocity, which can realize the measurement of the flow velocity and temperature of an extremely low-speed flow field. By pre-calibrating the velocity-voltage curves in different temperature ranges, it is possible to automatically match the corresponding curves in the corresponding ranges according to the temperature measured by the thermocouple for velocity calculation, thereby supporting a wider range of complex working conditions and enhancing the applicability of the test system. In addition, the test method is applicable to various types of fluids, especially those fluids whose physical properties change greatly with temperature, improving the efficiency and accuracy of temperature testing and flow velocity testing in different fluid environments.
