Research on the Vortex Mass Flow Meter of Dual Bluff Body Based on Differential Pressure Principle

Article Preview

Abstract:

The lower limit of the existing vortex mass flow meter based on differential pressure is high. So the application of the existing vortex mass flow meter is limited in the measurement for low flow rate. This paper proposes a method using vortex mass flow meter of dual bluff body based on differential pressure principle. The differential pressure signal between the upstream and downstream can be amplified by the vortex overlap caused by the dual bluff body structure. The results of the simulation by Fluent show that this method can reduce the lower limit of measurement, and improve the measurement sensitivity effectively.
