The objective of this paper is to investigate in detail the relationship between results obtained from flow over a circular cylinder in cross flow using Hot Film and Hot Wire Constant Temperature Anemometry (C.T.A.). The experimental results are compared with those obtained using numerical methods. The results obtained from Hot Wire Anemometry are used to attempt to calibrate the Hot Film Sensors for the purpose of evaluating entropy generation rates in the boundary layer of the cylinder.
