Turbulence Applications

Instruments

Examples

• ADV and MicroADV and ADVOcean - Acoustic Doppler Velocimeters

• ADV Performance Curves - Explains a methodology used by UIUC to resolve flow turbulence.
• Flume Studies - Shows how a MicroADV was used to measure turbulence and mean flow over a flume water column by Wuhan University (China).
• Martha's Vineyard - Describes a laboratory evaluation and a field deployment of an ADV in the benthic boundary layer south of Martha's Vineyard during Hurricane Edouard by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.
• Surf Zone - Shows how an ADV was used to collect data in the surf zone of a local San Diego beach.

• 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.
