Abstract
Anemometers based on the exchange of momentum between the flow and rotating measuring element comprise an important class of instruments used in flow metrology, especially in meteorological and ventilation measurements. In these instruments, overvaluation of the measured average velocity, caused by the inertia of their rotors, takes place. To analyse this phenomenon and the dynamics of the measurement process, as well as to estimate and minimize the measurement uncertainty, it is required to be acquainted with the mathematical model of the anemometer. In this study, the model of the vane anemometer based on the equation of motion of its rotor available in the literature is analysed, and a new model based on the power balance is proposed. Model testing and a comparison of both models has also been performed.
