1. A flaw detection system for detecting flaws in a medium using acoustic Doppler effect resulting from relative motion between the medium and the system comprising:

  • transducer means, spaced from the medium to be inspected, for introducing to and sensing from the medium an acoustic signal that propagates in said medium at a predetermined frequency; and

    means, responsive to the sensed propagating acoustic signal, for detecting in the sensed acoustic signal the Doppler shifted frequency representative of a flaw in the medium.
