Outline of Final Research Achievements

We developed a device that measured a flow velocity in a water channel by an acceleration sensor built in a smartphone, utilizing a property that an obstacle immersed in a flow vibrates with frequencies proportional to flow velocities. We found that a small flat plate as an obstacle with a width, height and thickness of 18, 54 and 1mm, respectively, had the proportional relationship under flow velocities between 0.3 and 1 m/s. We also made an application that adopted the maximum entropy method as a fast Fourier transform showing quick response.We tested our prototype device in an actual water channel and found that the errors compared with outputs of electromagnetic flow meter were within 10%.
