With a conductive fluid flowing through a conduit formed from a non-magnetic material, and with a flow meter positioned at or near the conduit and having a magnetic field source spaced from the conduit and producing a first magnetic field that at least partially interacts with the conductive fluid flowing through the conduit, a method includes generating sensor data representative of strength of a second magnetic field that at least partially interacts with the flow meter. The second magnetic field is produced by eddy currents induced in the conductive fluid by the first magnetic field. Based on processing of the generated sensor data representative of strength of the second magnetic field, the method includes determining a flow rate of the conductive fluid through the conduit.
A computer-implemented method when executed on data processing hardware causes the data processing hardware to perform operations including:
