The effect of transverse velocity gradients on the performance of the Price current meter / by Peter Engel.: En13-5/83-15E-PDF
"Theoretical analysis and experimental data are used to develop mathematical model of the response of the Price meter rotor to a flow with a transverse velocity gradient. Application of the model showed that the Price meter over-registers when velocity gradients are positive and under-registers when such gradients are negative. In some cases, the error in a velocity measurement can be of the order of several percent. Some recommendations to reduce the effect of velocity gradients are made"--Summary, p. i.
