Abstract
We present our research on a sensor setup utilizing
pressure waves to determine physical fluid parameters for
condition monitoring applications. Compared to approaches
utilizing shear waves to measure liquid parameters, the use of
pressure waves enables to sense the bulk of the fluid sample and therefore helps to overcome the drawback of the small
penetration depth of shear waves. We describe the basic sensor
concept and the associated theoretical model. In particular we
outline a 1D-model for the whole sensor setup and discuss the
possible modes of operation for the sensor. Finally, the obtained simulation results are compared to measurement results
obtained with two prototype devices.
