Regulating Turbulent Flows

A method for regulating a burner device with a mass flow sensor in a side duct of a feed duct of the burner device, a regulator, a first actuator, and a second actuator acting on the feed duct, the method comprising:

• requesting a flow of a fluid through the feed duct;
• assigning the requested flow through the feed duct to a setting of the first actuator;
• generating a first signal for the first actuator, wherein the first signal is a function of the setting of the first actuator assigned to the requested flow through the feed duct;
• transmitting the first signal to the first actuator;
• generating a second signal by the mass flow sensor, wherein the second signal is a function of an actual flow through the side duct;
• correlating the second signal to an actual value of the flow through the side duct;
• correlating the requested flow through the feed duct to a corresponding flow through the side duct;
• generating a regulation signal with the regulator for the second actuator as a function of the actual value of the flow through the side duct and the corresponding value of the flow through the side duct;
• and
• transmitting the generated regulation signal to the second actuator.
