Instructions


problem set up.pngYou want to make a vortex shedding flowmeter and you want to evaluate the design before doing an experiment.  Assume the configuration of the flow meter is as given in the figure to the right. 

Review information about Karman vortices, and see how to set up a simulation of this process on this page.

 

 

 

 

Here is a video describing how to measure the frequency of the pressure fluctuations and then correlate it with the flow.  

 

Plot the velocity as a function of the frequency (Hz).
