Abstract
A vortex sensor senses the vortices generated by a vortex generator. A temperature sensor, disposed at a streamlined body within a flow tube, measures a temperature of fluid carried by the flow tube. A circuit coupled to the vortex sensor and to the temperature sensor creates an output indicative of the flow.
