The flowrate characteristics of vortex flowmeter is closely related to the size and geometry shape of vortex bluff body. A new kind of circular cylinder with a slit structure is proposed and applied to vortex flowmeter. Theoretical analysis shows that the slit can be regarded as a feedback channel, which can effectively accelerate vortex shedding and increase vortex intensity. Experiments were carried out in a water pipe with a diameter of 50 mm. Vortex signals produced by circular cylinder with a slit and trapezoidal cylinder respectively at different flowrate were collected. This paper mainly focuses on analyzing the low flowrate measurement performance of circular cylinder with a slit. Experimental results show that compared with trapezoidal cylinder circular cylinder with a slit possesses following characteristics:vortex signal intensity is stronger, signal-to-noise ratio is higher, the Reynolds number of measurement range can be as low as 9. 5í103 and linearity of Strouhal number is better as well. Theoretical analysis and experimental results manifest that circular cylinder with a slit possesses good flowrate meas-urement features and can be applied to vortex flowmeter successfully.%涡街流量计的流量特性与旋涡发生体的形状和几何尺寸密切相关,提出了一种新型的带狭缝圆柱发生体结构并应用于涡街流量计。理论分析表明狭缝可以看作是一个反馈通道,可有效加快旋涡脱落并增强旋涡强度。在内径为50 mm的管道中进行实验,采集不同流量下带狭缝圆柱与梯形柱绕流产生的涡街信号,重点讨论带狭缝圆柱的小流量测量性能。实验表明,与梯形柱相比,带狭缝圆柱涡街信号更强,信噪比高,雷诺数测量范围可低至9.5×103,斯特劳哈尔数线性度更好。理论分析与实验结果表明,带狭缝圆柱具有较好的流量测量特性,可应用于涡街流量计。
