The implementation of a new scheme for a thermistor anemometer for the measurement of both velocity and temperature in a two-dimensional horizontal flow is described. The anemometer is composed of a cluster of four bead thermistors, consisting of a central heater bead and three surrounding sensor beads. Empirical relationships for the dependence of flow direction on sensor/heater spacing, fluid flow speed, and fluid, heater and sensor temperatures are presented which permit in situ calibration of large numbers of thermistor anemometers. Fabrication details, calibration procedures and results of measurements from a large number of anemometers under actual experimental conditions in a thermally stratified, rotating fluid flow are included.
