Abstract
A vortex flowmeter having a double bluff body arrangement whereby vortices are generated at a rate corresponding to the fluid flow velocity. The upstream body and the downstream body together interact with the fluid stream to generate vortices. The arrangement introduces a relatively low blocking factor in comparison to simple bluff body arrangements. Vortex sensors are located between the bodies and downstream of the second body a distance between three and five times the diameter of that body.
