Title: Flow Measurement By Vortex Shedding Meters

Abstract: Vortex flowmeters have been commercially available for flow measurement for more than 10 years. However, documented observations of the vortex shedding principle date back to the late 19th century. In 1878, F. Strouhal observed the vortex shedding phenomenon, which showed that the shedding frequency of a wire vibrating in the wind was related to the wire diameter and wind velocity and, in 1912, Von Karman documented observations of resulting areas of alternating high and low pressure.
