Abstract

Abstract

In this paper,the design concept of two elbow flowmeters with alterable measurement range is studied by CFX numerical simulation.The results show that:a.changing the pressure taps of the traditional elbow flow meter could not significantly increase the differential pressure under the low flow condition;b.Throttling elements could increase the differential pressure;c.The airfoil could make the differential pressure increase 25%.
