“…In many flow measurement devices, especially a CMF, fluid-structure interaction (FSI), i.e. where computational structural mechanics (CSM) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) need to be coupled, related problems are often encountered and a complete understanding of physical phenomena occurring in devices becomes vital (Bobovnik, Mole et al 2005, Mole, Bobovnik et al 2008. As far as CMFs are concerned, there are a few attempts to simulate a CMF using coupled FSI approach (Mole, Bobovnik et al 2008, Kumar andAnklin 2011).…”

Coriolis mass flowmeters (CMFs) are increasingly used in the oil and gas industry with feature of directly measuring mass flow rate. The performance of CMFs influenced by on-line viscosity still needs further study. A computational fluid dynamics model of U-shape CMF was developed. The simulation results were evaluated in terms of the natural frequency of the vibrating system and the corresponding phase difference between the motions of the sensing points symmetrically located on the measuring tube. The simulations were conducted on comparison between water and viscous liquid with flow rates spanning the laminar and turbulent regions. The effects of viscosity on mass flow measurement by CMFs are discussed in details. The findings in the simulations can be used for further compensation of deviation due to viscosity effects.

“…The model adopts a conventional serial staggered procedure with a three-point fluid predictor for the fluid stress tensor and the additional inner iterations in each time step. A more detailed description of the simulation procedure, its validation and an analysis of the different coupling scenarios can be found in [8,9]. This section presents the governing equations of the problem, the boundary and initial conditions, defines the computational domain and the material properties of the fluid and the structure, the method for the estimation of the measuring effect and the temporal and spatial discretization of the model.…”
