The Float Motion Analysis in Rotameter

Abstract:

The float motion mathematical model is established based on the theory of flow around a body in this paper, by solving the mathematic model with special method, the integrity form flow equation of rotameter is derived, and float stability and motion characteristics are analyzed.
