There is a litte cheap construction called a "hot wire anemometer".  

You force the flow to be laminar... at tube will do.

You put a heated wire in the flow, you put a thermister down stream.  

You know the heat of the wire, you measure the heat of the thermister,
a
little math and voila... air speed.

Check out OMEGA for full details of commercial units.  (Try

(Engineering?))
