Simultaneous measurements with 3D PIV and Acoustic Doppler Velocity Profiler

Simultaneous velocity measurements were taken using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) and an Acoustic Doppler Velocity Profiler (ADVP) in a sharp open-channel bend with an immobile gravel bed. The PIV measures 3D velocity vectors in a vertical plane (~40cm x 20cm) at a frequency of 7.5 Hz, whereas the ADVP measures 3D velocity vectors in a...
