FLUIDIC SENSOR FOR FLUID STREAM VELOCITY

摘要

A method and apparatus for determining the velocity of a fluid flow stream. A fluid jet source is disposed opposite a pair of fluid pressure detectors so that the jet stream equally intersects both detectors when the velocity of the fluid flow stream is zero. Means are provided for relatively laterally displacing the jet with respect to the detectors, and for sensing the pressure difference at the detectors, in order to indicate the velocity of the moving fluid flow stream.
