Patent Abstract

The measuring device has pressure sensors (3a,3b) for detection of pressure fluctuations of fluid (2) flowing in hollow structure (1) along main flow direction. The pressure sensor outputs the measurement signal representing the course of the temporal local pressure fluctuations. A differentiator with subtractor includes two signal inputs to provide measurement signals in order to output the output signal. An evaluation unit evaluates pressure fluctuation patterns from output signal. An independent claim is included for a method for determination of spatial temporal pressure variation patterns within fluid.
