Use another suitable line (secant) minimizing overall error if you need linear approximation close to the origin. How do I deal with an asymptote, in what should be the physical realm with no disconnect? You simply do not try to approximate square root function with tangent through the origin. You will get non-zero error in proximity of your chosen reference point, but overall error in larger surroundings can be smaller. Mass Flow rate meters or Discharge measuring instruments: Venturi meter: A Venturi meter is a device used for measuring the rate of flow of fluid flowing through a pipe.

If you place tangent line to square root graph, the line will stand away.ĭepending on particular use, you can be better with using secant instead of tangent. velocity and pressure using pitot tubes and manometers and how to visualise for over streamlined and bluff bodies. You can simply see it looking at the mentioned graph. Working principle of Pitot tube When a solid body is kept centrally, and stationery in a pipeline with flowing fluid, the velocity of the fluid starts reducing (at the same time the pressure fluid increases due to the conversion of kinetic energy into pressure energy) due to the presence of the body. In that case the higher derivations have higher value and can not be neglected. Note that this assumption does not stay for square root in proximity of zero. If (!) for your small enough $\varepsilon$ the terms with higher derivation are much smaller than first derivation, you can neglect them and use linear term only. I've taken the derivative with respect to $\Delta P$ I would like a linearized equation so that I can use it as a linear model. I'm trying to get a linearized model for a pitot tube, but I've got an asymptote in the linearized equation that I don't know how to deal with. So far, all of the work will be done purely as a simulation. I am hoping if I find a good solution, I can also use it for other models with the same issues.

So currently I want to linearize the Pitot tube model for that purpose. Due to it being a Kalman filter I need the models to be linearized. So I am tasked with adding some other measurement systems so that I can increase it's performance.

The EKF is meshing an INS and a GPS currently, but the GPS update rate does not update fast enough to keep the filter converged. I am making a few measurement models for an extended Kalman filter (EKF).
