A vortex flowmeter includes a flow tube configured to receive a flow of process fluid in a first direction. A bluff body is disposed within the flow tube between a first end and a second end. The bluff body is configured to generate vortices in the flow of process fluid. A plurality of sensors are disposed within the bluff body configured to detect deformations within the bluff body resulting from the vortices acting on the bluff body.
