Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a fluid velocity measuring device and method. Background technique [0002] The current flow velocity measurement method based on ultrasonic arrival time difference (frequency difference, phase difference), including wind speed and flow measurement, requires accurate measurement of time due to the high speed of sound in the medium. However, due to the time drift of the electronic components of the instrument, the accuracy is limited when the flow rate is small, and the circuit system is relatively complicated. Moreover, the round-trip flight time of ultrasonic waves needs to be measured separately, and continuous measurement cannot be realized. In the existing ultrasonic anemometer, the probe is located in the center of the measured air duct, which will affect the flow of wind. [0003] The Doppler method is suitable for fluids containing impurities or air bubbles, not for clean fluids. The traditional beam shifting method r...
