  • Abstract
    Vortex generator is an important component of vortex flowmeter. The shape of CFD decides vortex flowmeter´s range and accuracy. This paper present a novel vortex generator, simulate its numerical value and analyse the theory by FLUENT, and compare the other common generators with it. As a result, through practical application, the advanced vortex generator have a better performance than others, it is able to make powerful and steady vortexes in low or high Renault value.
