Practical aspects of ADCP data use for quantification of mean river flow characteristics; Part II: fixed-vessel measurements

Abstract: Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCP) are increasingly used for velocity and discharge measurements in riverine environment capitalizing on operation efficiency and rugged configuration. Part I of the paper investigated the potential of the moving-boat ADCP measurements to appropriately describe mean velocity field in river cross sections. It was concluded that the ADCP data collected during transects for estimation of discharges is not readily usable for estimation of the mean velocity distribution over t… Show more

“…Despite their simplicity and rapidity, a certain amount of averaging is necessary to reduce errors present in the recorded data (e.g., Gunawan et al 2010). Measuring at fixed locations over long time intervals or averaging data from repeated transects are usually recommended to accurately characterize the mean velocity distributions with ADCPs (Muste et al 2004a(Muste et al , 2004bSzupiany et al 2007). However, fixed measurements are impractical when data along a river cross-section are needed; likewise, averaging repeated transects is inadequate under nonstationary conditions as it conflicts with the requirement to monitor the time variations induced by the nonstationary processes (e.g., tides, discharge waves).…”

“…Au-delà du profil vertical des vitesses ou de leur distribution en plan, l'identification des structures persistantes de l'écoulement (recirculations, couches de mélange, courants secondaires hélicoïdaux, etc.) sont quantifiables par mesure aDcp, à condition que leurs échelles caractéristiques soient supérieures au volume d'échantillonnage [Muste et al 2004b]. L'aDcp permet ainsi d'observer les structures de l'écoulement (cf.…”

“…En outre, dans le cas d'un aDcp lié à un support flottant, et non fixé rigidement au fond ou sur un dispositif de laboratoire, les mouvements de rotation (cap, tangage, roulis) sont une source d'erreurs potentiellement assez grandes [Lu et al 1999] pour compromettre cette première méthode en l'absence de correction. Muste et al [2004b] ont considéré que les tourbillons les plus énergétiques ont des tailles supérieures à l'écartement des faisceaux et ont étudié la turbulence grandes échelles. En faisant l'hypothèse d'homogénéité des vitesses par couches horizontales dans le champ des faisceaux, l'intensité turbulente peut être calculée à partir des fluctuations de la vitesse mesurée et reconstituée par l'aDcp [Barua et al 1998, Muste et al 2004b.…”

“…For the natural river, there are errors contained in the measured flow data because of the limitation of measurement technology. The errors can be reduced by using more advanced observation equipment [22], but will lead to higher costs. For the reservoir, the measured flow is usually obtained by conversion method from the reservoir water level.…”
