Paper Abstract

In this paper, the feasibility of a self-oscillating anemometer is examined. A 2D numerical study of a novel self-oscillating anemometer that can be fabricated using micromachining techniques is performed. The device is essentially a square cylinder suspended in the fluid flow by a fixed beam. The flow velocity can be easily measured by determining the frequency of oscillation obtained from capacitance sensing. Anemometer with different length scales can be fabricated to enable different ranges of velocities to be measured.
