The converging-diverging structure is introduced to extend the lower limit of measurement of vortex flowmeters. As a compact device, the converging-diverging vortex flowmeter is proposed and designed, a nd its performance is studied experimentally. It is found that, first of all, an up to 51% extension of the lower measurement limit can be realized through the conve rging-diverging structure, compared with conventional vortex flowmeters; second, the converging-diverging vortex flowmeter with a trapezoidal bluff body has a larger Strouhal number and smaller pressure loss. The resu lts suggest that the converging- diverging vortex flowmeter provides an alternative device especially suitable for the measurement of low-velocity fluids.
