AB - Three-dimensional computational model for a gas turbine flowmeter is  proposed, and the finite volume based SIMPLEC method and k-ε turbulence model  are used to obtain the detailed information of flow field in turbine  flowmeter, such as velocity and pressure distribution. Comparison between  numerical results and experimental data reveals a good agreement. A rectifier  with little pressure loss is optimally designed and validated numerically and  experimentally.
