Abstract :
This paper gives a numerical simulation to research the turbine flowmeter at starting flow by ANSYS 12.1 and verifies the accuracy of the simulation by experimental method. And it is found that the simulation method is reasonable for the investigation and can be used for improving the performance of turbine flowmeter at low flow rate. Finally, the consequence of the gap between the blade tip and shell is discussed.
