Vortex Shedding Meter Utilizing Flat Plate and Triangular Cylinder in Tandem

Abstract

In this work, the prime objective is the evaluation of the performance
of vortex shedding meter utilizing the principle of closed tandem
bodies, which is believed to be the first in this field. This is
accomplished by performing various tests and experimental
arrangements of various configurations of flat plate with triangular
cylinder, under a wide range of Reynolds number. Consequently, it is
found that those meters performed better than those meters that utilize
single bodies for most of the arrangements tested. From the results, it
is concluded that closed tandem increases the flow range, especially
under low range of Reynolds numbers together with improved
linearity and decreased pressure losses across the meters for all flow
rates.
