Abstract
A device for measuring the flow speed of a fluid as well as its direction and its orientation, based on a thermal-sensor measurement principle, that comprises at least three flow measurement probes each having a sensitive member and an obstacle masking a predetermined measurement area of the sensor, characterized in that the flow measurement probes are attached on carrier posts, the carrier posts defining the obstacles that form masking members for an angular sector of the flow measurement probes facing the sensitive member of the probes.
