A Note on the Static Hole Error Problem

Abstract

The static hole error problem has been extensively investigated in the past. It has been shown that, for deep holes (for which the length l of the hole is greater than 1.5 times the diameter d of the hole), the difference between the indicated static pressure p₀’ and the true static pressure p₀ is a function of the boundary shear stress τ₀, hole diameter d, the coefficient of dynamic viscosity μ and the mass density ρ of the fluid.
