ABSTRACT:
A guided torsional wave sensor has a cross-section with a strong interaction of torsional wave energy and the surrounding fluid, such that a wave propagates in the sensor with a functional dependence on a single fluid characteristic. In one embodiment, the sensor body is optimized for fluid density. Diamond, polyhedral and curved-sided embodiments are described. In another embodiment, the sensor body responds to fluid viscosity. This embodiment is preferably hollow, and may include threaded, fractal or roughened surface features to enhance viscous coupling. Different systems include further sensors, sensors with portions of differing profile, and special mounting or activation structures.
