Abstract

A sensor system for determining at least one parameter of a fluid medium which flows in a main flow direction, e.g., an intake air mass flowing through a flow pipe, includes at least one sensor situated in the fluid medium and at least one grating which is situated transversely to the main flow direction and which has at least one bar. On at least one surface over which the fluid medium flows, the bar has at least one shearing element which is designed to generate a region in the flow having a turbulent flow downstream from the shearing element.
