Summary
The described fiber anemometer permits measuring small constant and variable discharges and velocities of liquid and gas, direction of currents, and the characteristics of turbulence. The lower limit of measurable velocities is fractions of mm · sec−1. The special features of this anemometer are insensitivity to electrical and magnetic disturbances, and the possibility of taking measurements in chemically agressive media. It can be useful for measurements in hydrodynamics, meterology, oceanography, pneumatics, chemical technology, and low-speed aerodynamics.
