Abstract
A cross correlation flowmeter for measuring a flow rate of a fluid comprises a conduit through which the fluid to be measured the flow rate is flowing, first and second upstream sensors disposed on the conduit along a longitudinal direction thereof for sensing passage of the disturbance, a plurality of downstream sensors disposed on the conduit along the longitudinal direction of the conduit at a downstream side relative to the first and second upstream sensors for sensing the passage of the disturbance, first flow velocity detecting circuit for detecting a first flow velocity by calculating a maximum of a cross correlation of output signals from the first and second sensors, selecting circuit for selecting one of the downstream sensors providing a maximum accuracy of the flow rate responsive to the first flow velocity, and flow rate calcualting circuit for calculating the flow rate by finding out a maximum of the cross correlation of output signals from the first upstream sensor and the selected one of the downstream sensor.
