A novel fluidic flowmeter based on fluid oscillation phenomenon

Accurate flow rate measurement is of prime importance in many areas, e.g. combustion control, process control, gas or water flowmetering and plant monitoring. A type of fluidic flowmeter for volumetric flow rate measurement, known as the target fluidic flowmeter, was investigated. The principle of t...
