A new concept for the evaluation of flowmeter dynamic response is presented. A technique based on hydraulic line dynamics is applied to achieve accurate measurements of the reference flowrate. The major components in the equipment used in experimental verification of the theory were a test pipe, a pulsating flow generator, three pressure transducers, an A/D converter, and a microcomputer system. This equipment allowed the dynamic characteristics of a flowmeter to be investigated in both the time and frequency domains. Comparisons of flowrates measured using the line dynamic technique and the same flowrates recorded by the flowmeter are presented. The results confirm the feasibility and practicability of the dynamic line technique for measuring rapidly varying flows.

Static and dynamic characteristics of a mixed flow pump were measured at low flow rate, where the steady characteristic curves show a positive slope. Unsteady flow was measured at upstream and downstream of impeller, as well as on the casing wall of diffuser passage by using a fast response five-hole pitot tube and semi-conductor type pressure transducers. Dynamic response of the pump to the sinusoidal change in flow rate was measured under constant rotational speed. As a result of the unsteady flow measurements, the positive slope of steady characteristic was found to be caused by the impeller tip separation, inlet backflow, and pre-rotation. Moreover, the dynamic characteristics of the pump were found to become unstable with the increased frequency of flow rate.

The pulsating flows in both infinite and finite conical nozzles were analyzed theoretically. Sinusoidal pressure disturbances were impressed at the nozzle exit for the infinite nozzle and at either the inlet or at the exit for the case of a finite nozzle. The results have been calculated in terms of mass-flux response. The parameters involved are the Mach number and the modified Strouhal number; the inlet and exit radii ratio enters as an additional parameter for a finite nozzle. The results for an infinite conical nozzle indicate that, when the frequency is low, the quasistatic relationship between the pressure and mass-flux fluctuations holds; the same was reported in reference [1]. But, as the frequency increases, the dynamic characteristics of the pulsating flow become important. And, at high frequencies, the mass-flux response is less than the quasistatic value by an amount depending on the Mach number. For a finite conical nozzle the quasistatic condition is still valid if the frequency is low. However, at higher frequencies, the dynamic behavior becomes critically dependent on the frequency expressed in terms of w, for a given nozzle geometry and exit Mach number.

Three distinct kinds of rapid variations have been detected in the light curves of dwarf novae: rapid flickering, short period coherent oscillations, and quasi-periodic oscillations. The rapid flickering is seen in the light curves of most, if not all, dwarf novae, and is especially apparent during minimum light between eruptions. The flickering has a typical time scale of a few minutes or less and a typical amplitude of about .1 mag. The flickering is completely random and unpredictable; the power spectrum of flickering shows only a slow decrease from low to high frequencies. The observations of U Gem by Warner and Nather (1971) showed conclusively that most of the flickering is produced by variations in the luminosity of the bright spot near the outer edge of the accretion disk around the white dwarf in these close binary systems.
