A Method for the Measurement of Flow Rate in Pipe using a Microphone Array

A new method is proposed to measure the flow rate in a pipe by multiple measurements of acoustic pressure using a microphone array. It is based on the realization that variation in flow velocity affects the change in wave number. The method minimizes measurement random errors and sensor mismatch errors thereby providing practically realizable flow rate measurement. One of the advantages of the method is that it does not obstruct the flow field and can provide the time-spatial mean flow rate. Numerical simulations and experiments were conducted to verify the utility of this method.
