Simulation of S Shape Coriolis Mass Flow Sensor

Abstract

The paper intent in modelling of S-shape coriolis mass flow sensor and then per-forming the simulation for determining the desired phase-shift. The coriolis mass flow sensor is a device that measures mass flow rate of a fluid inside the tube. It is also known as inertia flow meter. The phase shift appears due to the twist in the structure as a result of interactions between the vibration and fluid flow. The phase shift calculated at different sensor positions is helpful in calibrating the ac-curate mass flow rate and to ascertain the optimal sensor position. The coriolis mass flow sensor is modelled in CATIA V5 and simulation is performed in ANSYS 16.2. Tube material is copper and working fluid is water.
