ABSTRACT:
An acoustic travel time flow meter, for use in measuring turbulent vector flow data, capable of extended deployment in which acoustic pulse generation and measurement are interleaved to conserve battery power and compressed data, sufficient to reconstruct turbulent flow data, are derived from instantaneous measurements to conserve data storage. Transmitter output and receiver input impedances are matched to reduce instrument error.
