Abstract
This paper presents the concept and development of a four-tube probe for the measurement of the three velocity components in 3D flows. The necessary calibration curves have been developed and are presented along with a procedure to use this probe. This probe is more convenient to use than the traditional five-tube probe and is believed to be useful for the measurement of the three components of velocity in 3D flows in the laboratory. It has already been used successfully in the measurement of the velocity field in a vertical slot fishway.
