Numerical Solution for Weight Function of Electromagnetic Flowmeter Using Finite Element Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

Weight function is related with the sensor structure of electromagnetic flowmeter (EMF). Because of complex boundary conditions, it is difficult to solve the voltage differentiation equation of EMF directly to get weight function. The finite element numerical analysis method is tried to solve the weight function for the point and large-electrode EMF in this paper. The results prove it is feasible and efficient to obtain weight function of EMA by means of finite element numerical analysis.
