A flow sensor assembly is provided and includes a flow conduit configured to impart a disturbance to a flow, multiple sensors disposed at respective sensing locations along the flow conduit. Each sensor is responsive to the disturbance of the flow and generates a corresponding response signal. The flow sensor assembly further includes a processor operably connected to each sensor, the processor being configured to compute a cross-correlation function between the response signals generated by said sensors, and determine a flow rate and a direction for the flow through the conduit based on the computed cross-correlation function. Additional flow sensor assembly arrangements are also disclosed.

A passive sensor is configured to detect one or more operational parameters of a gas turbine. The passive sensor is coupled to the gas turbine. The passive sensor is also configured to extract a portion of energy from the one or more operational parameters to utilize for operation, store an indication of a value of the one or more operational parameters, transition from a first mechanical state to a second mechanical state according to the value of the one or more operational parameters, and to provide a signal in response to receiving an interrogation signal. The signal comprises the indication of the value of the one or more operational parameters.
