An artifical fluctuating velocity field similar to the velocity field in grid-generated turbulence has been produced with an electrodynamic shaker to test the ability of constant-current and constant-temperature anemometers to accurately measure higher-order moments of velocity. Evidence was found to suggest that a constant-temperature anemometer may be more suitable than a constant-current anemometer for measurements of odd-order moments of velocity. Both types of anemometers are in good agreement for even-order moments.
