How MEMS thermal flow sensing works

Symmetric temperature profile with no flow
No flow
Temperature profile shifted downstream by flow
With flow

A heater sits between an upstream and a downstream thermopile. With no flow, the temperature profile around the heater is symmetric. Flow shifts the profile downstream, and the difference between the two thermopiles gives the mass flow rate.
