Turbulent flow structure investigation within target fluidic flowmeter

摘要

This contribution presents the development of computational capabilities to investigate the flow structure, design and performance of a new target fluidic flowmeter. The reference data for a wide range of Reynolds numbers were obtained experimentally. These data are used in this study for simulation val-idation purposes. When fluid passes the bluff body complicated phenomena like separation, reattachment and unsteady vortex shedding occur. The per-formance characteristics depend on jet properties and therefore are Reynolds number dependent.
