The effective natural transport of seeds in turbulent atmospheric flows is found across a myriad of shapes and sizes. However, to develop a sensitive passive sensor required for large-scale (in situ) flow tracking measurements, systems suffer from inertial lag due to the increased size and mass needed for optical visibility, or by carrying a sensor payload, such as an inertial measurement unit (IMU). While IMU-based flow sensing is promising for beyond visual line-of-sight applications, the size and mass of the sensor platform results in reduced flow fidelity and, hence, measurement error. Thus, to extract otherwise inaccessible flow information, a flow-physics-based tracer correction is developed through the application of a low-order unsteady aerodynamic model, inspired by the added-mass concept. The technique is evaluated using a sensor equipped with an IMU and magnetometer. A spherical sensor platform, selected for its symmetric geometry, was subject to two canonical test cases including an axial gust as well as the vortex shedding generated behind a cylinder. Using the measured sensor velocity and acceleration as inputs, an energized-mass-based dynamic model is used to back-calculate the instantaneous flow velocity from the sensor measurements. The sensor is also tracked optically via a high-speed camera while collecting the inertial data onboard. For the 1D test case (axial gust), the true (local) wind speed was estimated from the energized-mass-based model and validated against particle image velocimetry measurements, exhibiting good agreement with a maximum error of 10%. For the cylinder wake (second test case), the model-based correction enabled the extraction of the velocity oscillation amplitude and vortex-shedding frequency, which would have otherwise been inaccessible. The results of this study suggest that inertial (i.e. large and heavy) IMU-based flow sensors are viable for the extraction of Lagrangian tracking at large atmospheric scales and within highly-transient (turbulent) environments when coupled with a robust dynamic model for inertial correction.
