Abstract

The characteristics of the fluidic flowmeter, which is a combination of impinged concave wall and bistable fluid amplifier, is investigated by experimental studies and numerical simulations. The numerical approaches are utilized to examine the time dependent flow field and pressure field inside the proposed flowmeter. The effect of varying structural parameters on flow characteristics of the proposed fluidic flowmeter is investigated by computational simulations for the optimization. Both the simulation and experimental results disclose that the hydrodynamic vibration, with the same intensity, frequency and 180° phase shift, occurs at axisymmetric points in the feedback channel of the fluidic flowmeter. Using the structural combination of impinged concave wall and bistable fluid amplifier and differential signal processing technique, a novel fluidic flowmeter with excellent immunity and improved sensibility is developed.
