Study on the Improvement of Measurement Range of Fluidic Gyroscope

Abstract:

In this paper we have a comparative study to improve the measurement range of the fluidic gyroscope. Using ANSYS-FLOTRAN CFD software, finite element simulation was conducted by a series of procedures, such as two-dimensional model building, meshing, applied loads and equation solving, we calculated the flow distribution in the sensitive component of fluidic gyroscope with single nozzle and nozzle array. The results show that the upper limit measurement of fluidic gyroscope is the input angular velocity when fluidic column axis deflects to the position of thermistors, and using nozzle array can change the airflow distribution in the sensitive component and achieve the purpose of improving the measurement range of fluidic gyroscope.
