摘要
The paper demonstrated the feasibility of Lorentz Force Velocimetry for flow rate measurements of weakly conducting electrolytes using experimental results on salt water flow exposed to a permanent magnet system.This innovative flow measurement technique allows the non-contact determination of flow rates and relies on the interaction between a magnetic field and a moving conducting fluid.When an electrically conducting fluid moves through the magnetic field a Lorentz force is generated and acts on the measurement system.The present report provides an overview about the experimental setups and the first measurement results.
