    Abstract:

    In order to weaken the strength of turbulence and also reduce its effect on accuracy of the ultrasonic transducer signal acquisition,factors influencing the flow field of the transducer array are analyzed in this paper and design a new transducers array.This new array consist of six transceiver integrated ultrasonic transducers and three independent paths .According to the different flow direction, wind speed calculation model was established, combining the working characteristics of transducer chip so as to optimize the design of wind array and reduce the effect of shadows.Several typical arrays are selected to compare and analyze the flow field distribution features in the array by changing Reynolds number, wind speed and direction through the FLUENT software.With the analysis of the contour maps and speed curves,the datum of wind measuring paths in this new array meet the requirements of precision.
