Abstract :
Swirlmeter is optimized by this way of changing corner dimension between inlet blades and basic shaft from 60deg into 45deg and inlet blades from six into seven. This way is tested by FLUNENT simulation and is examined by experiment in the end. Both simulation and experiment show that not only the pressure loss but also the lowest measuring value of swirlmeter are improved by changing corner dimension. As a result, one of defects of swirlmeter is solved
