im studying the pitot tube right now and its interesting it appears in my favourite sim
basically its two tubes filled witha fluid
one tube faces the wind while the other is perpendicular to the wind
that makes the speed of the wind in one tube zero while in other whatever wind speed there is
that makes different pressures on each tube so measuring height you know your speed
my question:
would it be the same if you put the tube perpendicular to the wind parallel to it?
in other words:
a tube is facing the wind other is opposing the wind, /= or =/
in both speed of wind is 0
so do both get same height of fluids?
i know this is not in textbooks
edit:
how would it work if one tube faced the wind and the other opposed it instead of being perpendicular?
