Measurements were obtained in the Rensselaer transonic windtunnel with front and side sensors on block and domed configurations of hot-dome probes in the uniform freestream over the range Mach 0.42 to 0.82 and for pitch and yaw angles of upto 60 degrees. Results are presented with two hot-dome probe configurations, a block probe and a domed probe, and quantify effects of probe geometry, angle sensitivity, and velocity upto transonic Mach numbers. Block probe showed turbulence generation in the vicinity of the hot-film sensors probably associated with recirculating flow downstream of its sharp corners.
