Abstract

A method for determining physical and/or chemical properties of a medium on the basis of at least one first and one second acoustic wave, which each have at least partly propagated through the medium from at least one transmitter to at least one receiver, is provided. From receive signals generated at least two receivers a runtime difference of the acoustic waves and/or an absolute runtime of an acoustic wave is determined and by means of a determined runtime difference and/or a determined absolute runtime physical and/or chemical properties of the medium are determined, such as for example a mean flow velocity.
