Flow meters measure the volumetric flow rate in a pipeline. Most
meters are based on deriving a signal from the fluid flow and
calibrating the signal against the volumetric flow rate. The
calibration is done in fully-developed flow, and the same state of
flow must exist at the meter's position when it is in practical
use. Because the field of flow metering has been neglected by fluid
mechanicists for a long time, this book addresses two major fluid
mechanical problems in flow metering: the analysis of signal
generation in turbulent pipe flow, which explains the function of
the meter beyond a simple calibration, and the possible use of a
meter in non-developed flows. These problems are investigated with
reference to, and examples from, a variety of meters, e.g.
ultrasound cross-correlation meters, vortex meters, and turbine
meters. Studying these problems requires consideration of specific
phenomena in turbulent non-developed pipe flow, as caused by
installations, and finding special solutions with signal
processing, both of which are included in the book.
