Comparison among different mechanisms

Principle Advantages Disadvantages
Thermal flow sensors Flexible design,
broad applicability
High energy consumption,
affected by flow temperature
Piezoresistive and piezoelectric flow sensors Facile to model,
simple signal collection
Flow-structure interaction needed, may disturb original flow field
Acoustic flow sensors High sampling frequency, wide detection range Relatively high cost, affected by environmental conditions
Triboelectric flow sensors No external power needed Indirect flow measurement, limited to vortices or vibrations
