Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A method for measuring fluid flow including disposing a measurement device within a fluidic channel, the measurement device including a hydrodynamic central body, a plurality of arms coupled with and operable to extend from and retract to the hydrodynamic central body, and a plurality of sensors disposed within the hydrodynamic central body and distributed along the length of each of the plurality of arms; triggering, via an actuator, the plurality of arms to expand from the hydrodynamic central body until a portion of each of the plurality of arms abut a sidewall of the fluidic channel; collecting, via the plurality of sensors, measurements relating to one or more fluid flow parameters within the fluidic channel; triggering, via the actuator, the plurality of arms to contract inwards to the hydrodynamic central body; and retracting the measurement device from the fluidic channel.
