Flexible Flow Measuring System for Measurements on Non-planar Surfaces

The aim of this work is the development of a flexible flow measurement system. It can be integrated on curved surfaces such as airfoils or mounted into difficult access systems such as pressure pipes without preparation of the underlying material. A special interest lies in the non-invasive properties of the flow measurement system with respect to the flow profile of the medium and application simplicity. This can be achieved by reducing the thickness of the system to a minimum, so that the flow profile isn’t disturbed anymore by the presence of the system and by using a telemetric energy and data transfer instead of cable connections.
