Flowmeters have been developed based on the phenomena of vortex shedding ... each vortex builds up and breaks loose, followed by a repeat in the opposite rotation on the other side of the obstruction, and so alternately the vortices shed and go downstream in what is called a vortex street. ... the frequency of the shedding is directly proportional to the velocity of the fluid. 1, record 1, English, - vortex%2Dshedding%20flowmeter

Compteurs à tourbillons. Ces compteurs utilisent l'effet vortex qui se produit naturellement lorsqu'un fluide en écoulement turbulent heurte un obstacle non profilé. Les lignes de courant du fluide ne suivent plus à partir d'un certain point, appelé point de décollement, la surface de l'obstacle et des courants de retour engendrent des tourbillons entraînés par le courant. 2, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9bitm%C3%A8tre%20%C3%A0%20vortex
