Volume Intersection of Two Identical Right Circular Cones.

摘要

The common volume of two cones representing the reverberation volume of a transducer pair included in a doppler flow meter was calculated. Variables in the calculation,written as a computer program,included the divergence angle of the cones,transducer separation,and transducer size. The volume was found to increase exponentially with an increase in the apex angle,psi,of the cones for a fixed intersection angle,theta,limited to the condition psi
