Description Flowmeters are an important component for all process control applications and worldwide is a multi billion pound industry. The need to minimise cost associated with calibraion and improve performance by extending flow range is a current need. In addition, a number of flow scenarios have currently been found to be challenging to develop accurate flowmeters; these include flow at low reynolds numbers and flows including two phase flows. All of these issues require additional effort to make progress and the projects proposed below attempt to this using use low cost pressure differential devices as a basis for progress. The projects will primarily be CFD based  but in a design and investigtaion mode. However, a  design and build project of a test rig is also proposed to generate data for validation purposes Key Objectives There are three separate projects proposed  Project 1 will focus on cone meters and their improvement particularly in terms of the determination of the flow coefficient. The approach is to design a flowmeter and prove that CFD techniques can be used to calibrate the meter. Project 2 will focus on the use of cone meters under wet gas conditions and will involve the application of CFD to show that it is a suitable tool for analysis Project 3 will focus on the design and build of a test rig for the testing of a cone meter. This will involve testing using air ( or possible water)  and  for wet gas conditions.
