The Vortex Flowmeter

This Web site features a series of animations showing the operation of a vortex flowmeter that is used to measure flow in a process control system. Besides defining a vortex flowmeter, a Flash animation shows how it causes vortices around a blunt object obstructing the flow. A sine wave flow is created depending upon the flow velocity. After viewing several pages, a brief two question quiz is given with self-correcting answers.
