Research on Non-Invasive Laser Doppler Current Measurement for Hydrothermal Vents Flow Rates Profile

Abstract

<jats:p>Hydrothermal vents play important roles in the dynamic process of the stratosphere and the circulation of energy materials. Nowadays, invasive devices such as vane-type flow meter and turbine flow meter are commonly utilized to estimate the flow rates of hydrothermal vents. In- situ observation data obtained by LDCP system and CFD methods will be combined to solve the blind area of LDCP system during <jats:italic>in-situ</jats:italic> observation measurements. The flow rates profiles obtained in this project will improve the research on the circulation of energy materials and mineralization.</jats:p>
