- the measuring element 1 is designed in the form of a rod and is elastic so that the geometric shape can be adapted to the specified requirements.
- 2 shows a first embodiment of a measuring element 1 according to the invention with two heating elements 5 between which a glass fiber is arranged in the middle. The arrangement is embedded in a ceramic material 16, which in turn is surrounded by a passivating casing 8.
- the measuring element 13 shows a schematic view of the measuring element 1, the two heating wires 5 at one end of the measuring element 1 being connected in series with one another via an electrical connection 28.
- the measuring element 1 can therefore advantageously be completely contacted at one end.
- the second end is freely available, whereby particularly simple assembly and / or handling of the measuring element 1 can be achieved.

- the backscattered electromagnetic wave is preferably recorded at a point in time at which no electromagnetic wave is coupled into the glass fiber.
- the temperature dependence of this effect allows conclusions to be drawn about the temperature of the glass fiber.
- the backscattered signal consists of different components that are differently suited to the measurement requirements. For example, the backscattered signal contains a randomly scattered portion, but with which only a low local resolution can be achieved.

- the laser pulse for this is generated in a known manner with devices of the prior art.
- the measuring element 2 assumes a local temperature.
- part of the laser pulse is scattered back into the glass fiber 4.
- This backscattered signal is fed via the optical connecting fiber 25 to the evaluation unit 23, which uses this to determine a temperature distribution along the measuring element and determines the flow velocity of the fluid from the temperature distribution.
- the switch 24 With the switch 24 open, it is possible to use this device to determine the temperature of the fluid flow 22 along the measuring element 2. Then the switching element 24 is closed and the measuring element 2 is subjected to heat. The flow velocity of the fluid along the measuring element 2 is now determined by means of the renewed measurement. To improve the measurement accuracy, the electrical energy source 21 can be adjusted with regard to the current supplied. In this way, the measurement can be repeated with different heat loads, the differences being used to infer the flow velocity.
- the switch can be both a mechanical switch and an electronic switch, as are known in the prior art in a large number of designs and shapes. However, the switch can also be formed in one piece with the energy source 21, it being possible to provide not only a switching function but also a control function for the current.
- FIGS. 6 to 8 show path / temperature diagrams, the course of the temperature shown in FIG. 6 along the longitudinal extent of the measuring element 1, 2, 3 being without heat application in the case of a homogeneous flow.
- FIG. 7, on the other hand shows a profile as in FIG. 6, but the measuring element 1, 2, 3 is additionally subjected to heat.
