Abstract
The authors of the paper have developed a step-by-step algorithm for constructing a three-dimensional model of an ultrasonic flowmeter in the CAD system SolidWorks for its CFD analysis. This algorithm is a component of the generalized procedure for CFD analysis of ultrasonic flowmeters. Based on this algorithm, the authors have demonstrated the calculation of important parameters of a two-path chordal ultrasonic flowmeter from a design standpoint, when building its three-dimensional model in the SolidWorks CAD system. For the two-path chordal ultrasonic flowmeter in the example provided in the paper, the authors obtained two calibration curves – for air and methane
