Vortex flow meter working principle:

A vortex generator (bluff body) is set in the fluid, and regular vortices are alternately generated from both sides of the vortex generator. This vortex is called the Karman vortex street, as shown in Figure
1. The vortex array is arranged asymmetrically downstream of the vortex generator. Suppose the frequency of the vortex is f, the average velocity of the incoming flow of the measured medium is U,
the front width of the vortex generator is d, and the diameter of the surface body is D. According to the Karman vortex street principle, there is the following relationship:

Vortex flowmeter formula: f=StU1/d=StU/md
 

 

 

U1—average velocity on both sides of the vortex generator, m/s

St-Strouhal number

m—The ratio of the arcuate area on both sides of the vortex generator to the cross-sectional area of ​​the pipeline

 

The instantaneous volume flow vortex flowmeter formula is:

 

Where K is the meter coefficient of the flowmeter, pulse number/m3 (P/m3)

 

In addition to the geometric size of the vortex generator and the pipeline, K is also related to the Strouhal number. The Strouhal number is a dimensionless parameter, which is related to the shape of the vortex generator and the Reynolds number. Figure 2 shows the relationship between the Strouhal number of the cylindrical vortex generator and the Reynolds number of the pipeline

It can be seen from the figure that in the range of Re=2×104 ~ 7×106, St can be regarded as a constant, which is the normal working range of the instrument
