Abstract 

The paper presents a efficiency criterion of CFD-modelling for the research of ultrasonic flowmeters. He is a relative error of reproduction of mass flow rate in the i-th section 3D layout measuring pipeline. The authors investigated the influence of this criterion of effectiveness various options CFD-modelling.
