TECHNIQUES PERMETTANT DE DÉTERMINER UNE CARACTÉRISTIQUE D'ÉCOULEMENT DE FLUIDE DANS UN COURANT D'ÉCOULEMENT DE CANALISATION PAR BIFURCATION DU COURANT D'ÉCOULEMENT OU PAR INDUCTION D'UNE ONDE STATIONNAIRE À L'INTÉRIEUR DE CELUI-CI

摘要

The present invention provides a new and unique apparatus featuring a signal processor or processing module configured to: receive signaling containing information about a fluid flow passing through a pipe that is channelized causing flow variations in the fluid flow; and determine corresponding signaling containing information about a fluid flow characteristic of the fluid flow that depends on the flow variations caused in the fluid flow channelized, based upon the signaling received. The signal processor or processing module may be configured to provide the corresponding signaling, including where the corresponding signaling contains information about the fluid flow characteristic of the fluid flow channelized.
