DEVICE TO MEASURE TURBULENT PULSATIONS OF LIQUID FLOW SPEED Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC G01V3/02 

FIELD: measurement equipment.

SUBSTANCE: device comprises a dielectric body of streamlined shape with installed metering electrodes, a metering unit comprising amplifiers, to inputs of which electrodes are connected, a summator, inputs of which are connected with outputs of amplifiers, and also an additional electrode, at the same time metering electrodes are made in the form of wires with insulated side surface, assembled into a cord or bundle with a polished end, the minimum distance between which and the additional electrode exceeds the size of the turbulence zone, the number of amplifiers is equal to the number of metering electrodes, every of which is connected to the input of the appropriate amplifier, and the additional electrode is connected with the common bus of the metering unit. The additional electrode is made in the form of a hollow metal cylinder installed on the dielectric body, the surface area of which is ten times and more exceeds the total area of the end surface of metering electrodes, at the same time the cord of wires, in the form of which metering electrodes are arranged, is installed inside the second electrode so that its end protrudes beyond the edge of the additional electrode.

EFFECT: increased resolving capacity and increased accuracy of measurement of small-scale fluctuations of flow speed.
