An electromagnetic transducer intended to measure three-dimensional velocities of a flow of an electrically conductive fluid

Abstract

An electromagnetic transducer intended to measure three-dimensional velocity components of a flow of an electrically conductive fluid. An electromagnetic transducer intended to measure the three-dimensional velocity components of a flow of an electrically conductive fluid, including a cylindrical metal tube forming a core with high magnetic permeability, which tube extends along a central axis (Z), comprising a central portion and two end portions, on either side of the central portion, each including three bosses, arranged at 120° relative to one another about the central axis (Z) and each delimiting a flat surface, parallel to the central axis (Z); an electrical coil (12), called primary coil, wound around the central portion of the tube; six electrical coils, called receiver coils, each wound around one of the flat surfaces, or six Hall effect sensors, each arranged on one of the flat surfaces.
