Simulation of a Fiber Optic Flow Sensor for Measuring the Rate and Parameters of Fluid Flows in Astronaut Life Support Systems

  • Published:
Biomedical Engineering Aims and scope

The design of a simplified sensing element for the fiber optic sensor used for measuring the rate and parameters of fluid flows is presented together with the diagram of forces acting in the sensing element node. A control flow diagram of the algorithm for fiber optic sensor calculation is suggested. A technique for simulation and calculation of the design and process parameters of the fiber optic sensor is developed.
