I have uploaded 2 geometries of Pitot Tubes with blockages. These are expamples of the geometries we will use, and show how we will vary the geometries between differente iterations. 90 percent blocked with 5 mm protrusion is a more advanced geometry (we would like to go up to 99 percent) and 50 percent blocked 1mm is a more reduced blockage.  the blockage percentage is determined as the ratio of inlet area vs blocked area (in our case a circle with 90 percent surface are as inlet area). Protrusion is the length this blockage extends past the static port entrance.

Analyze the flow around a pitot tube to find the best placement for static ports.

Testing compressible flow for pitot tube with varying mach number (up to 1).  Going to try to implement correct boundary and initial conditiosn to minimize error in the tests.
