Investigation of additional components of flow rate measurement error of ultrasonic flowmeters by methods of computational fluid dynamics
Abstract
On the basis of computational fluid dynamics, the method of investigation of additional components of flow rate measurement error of ultrasonic flowmeters is developed. Applying the developed method, the study of three components of flow rate measurement error of ultrasonic flowmeters and recommendations for their elimination are proposed.
