Abstract
In order to solve the pipeline influence on measurement accuracy, the software Fluent was introduced to simulate the flow condition of the ultrasonic sensor. Through the simulation of different kinds of pipeline, the ultrasonic signal was analyzed and compared. The final form of the pipeline was obtained and the ultrasonic sensor was designed. The water experiments proved the design is valid.
