Abstract
The torque balancing equations and the torque equation of the turbine flow meter is deduced in the paper. The driving torque, the viscous drag torque and the bearing friction drag torque on the impeller is calculated by unsteady numerical simulation methods. The change rule of the various torques is gotten considering or not the influence of bearing drag torque. Also, the effect of different viscosity on the torque is calculated, which is used to explain the phenomenon of meter factor change law with the viscosity. It makes clear that the possibilities to improve the accuracy of the meter and to predicate the meter factor by unsteady numerical simulation.
