Sediment Transport Applications

Instruments

Examples

• ADP - Acoustic Doppler Profiler and Hydra System

• Sediment Transport - ADP and ADV Hydra systems were deployed near the mouth of the Columbia River to measure movement of dredged material.

• ADV - Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter

• Dredge Head - Shows how an ADV can be used to map the flow field around a dredge head.
• Fluid Mud - Shows how an ADV Hydra was used to help understand the influence of high-concentration suspensions of of fine sediments on flow.
• Undersea Channel Study - Shows how a PC-ADP and ADVs are being used in an oil recovery study at MIT's Experimental Sedimentology and Geomorphology Lab.

• FlowTracker Handheld ADV

• South Platte River - Describes a model verification project using a FlowTracker at Colorado State University.
