1. Principle of the integration method

1.1 General principle

Given a fluid that is incompressible and homogeneous, or can be considered as such (for example, below an average velocity of 70 m/s for air), the average volume flow Q vm through a section S of the flow is obtained by space-time integration:

Qvm (t,Δt)=∬S(1Δt∫tt+ΔtVd t) d S
