  • Abstract
    The use of a monomode optical fibre sensing element in the measurement of flow velocities by an interferometric technique is described, in which the operating principle is the flow induced oscillation of the fibre caused by vortex shedding. The system has been demonstrated to show a linear response with water flows in the Reynolds number range 100¿3500.
