摘要：An apparatus for measuring at least one parameter associated with a fluid
flowing within a pipe includes a spatial array of pressure sensors disposed at differentaxial locations x. . . xalong the pipe. Each of the pressure sensors provides a pressuresignal P(t) indicative of unsteady pressure within the pipe at a corresponding axiallocation of the pipe. A signal processor receives the pressure signals from each of thepressure sensors and determines the parameter of the fluid using pressure signals fromselected ones of the pressure sensors. By selecting different pressure sensors, the signalprocessor can configure the array to meet different criteria. In one embodiment, thearray of pressure sensors may be formed on a single sheet of polyvinylidene fluoride(PVDF) that is wrapped around at least a portion of an outer surface of the pipe. Thisarrangement allows a large number of pressure sensors to be quickly and economicallyinstalled.
