i 21-56-0160 ABSTRACT OF THE INVENTION A vortex-shedding flowmeter comprising two stationary vortex- shedding cross-members (i.e., bluff bodies) disposed transversely to a stream of fluid. Each cross-member has a bluff face with sharp Karman vortex generating edges with independently selected edge to edge widths d of from 10 to 40% of the inside width of the conduit through which the fluid flows and lengths 1 of from 0.3 to 2.0d The second cross-member is disposed downstream of the first cross-member a distance of from 4 to 15 times the width d of the first cross-member. Any sensor may be used in any location provided it or they sense the Karman vortices generated by co-action of the two cross-members. This flowmeter provides strong signals with a high signal to noise ratio and high Strouhal number.
