Experimental pitot pressure measurements in impulse facilities have typically had large scale harmonic fluctuations associated with them. A combined experimental and numerical approach is used to investigate if a Helmholtz resonance is created from the shrouding that protects the pressure sensor from particle impact, rather than disturbances being present in the free stream. To verify this experimentally, hydraulic oil was used to change the sound speed in the cavity. Numerical calculations of the pitot probe were used to show that both the steady and the expected transient inflow cause a Helmholtz resonance of similar period. However, a 5% isothermal level of free stream noise was required to match the experimental fluctuation levels. Also, viscous eects were shown to be significant during the initial transient response of the pressure measurement. A new pitot probe design was successfully tested and shown to be able to reduce the magnitude and period of the fluctuations.
