Abstract: A complex problem of turbulent-sediment interactions in an open-channel flow is approached experimentally, using specially designed field experiments in an irrigation canal. The experimental design included synchronous ...

Abstract: A new method for detecting spikes in acoustic Doppler velocimeter data sequences is suggested. The method combines three concepts: (1) that differentiation enhances the high frequency portion of a signal, (2) that the ...

Abstract: Sand wave development on an initially flat bottom under steady unidirectional flow is examined on the basis of laboratory measurements. A common scaling relationship

Abstract: A simple technique to reduce the Doppler noise influence on measurements of turbulence using the Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter (ADV) is developed, and basic relationships to estimate turbulence characteristics using information ...

Abstract: The paper presents special measurements of the turbulence characteristics in the river reach just behind the discharge of warm water from a thermalelectric power plant. The measurements of the values of instantaneous ...

Abstract: An innovative measurement system of “flying” acoustic Doppler velocimeters was designed in order to allow rapid velocity measurement over a large flow field. Such measurements are necessary, for example, when measuring ...
