Abstract

A method and device for determining a velocity of a flowing medium that allows an as high as possible measuring accuracy without requiring a complicated measuring construction is achieved in that a vortex is generated in the medium and an electromagnetic signal is emitted into the medium. Then, the permittivity of the medium is determined and the velocity of the medium is determined using the permittivity measurement.
