Volume Intersection of Two Identical Right Circular Cones

Abstract

The common volume of two cones representing the reverberation volume of a transducer pair included in a doppler flow meter was calculated. Variables in the calculation, written as a computer program, included the divergence angle of the cones, transducer separation, and transducer size. The volume was found to increase exponentially with an increase in the apex angle, psi, of the cones for a fixed intersection angle, theta, limited to the condition psi < theta.
