Flow Measurement
![Page 3: Hydraulic Structures for Discharge Measurement](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061510/568167da550346895ddd38eb/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Measurement Approaches
• Direct methods (stream gaging)– Current-meter method– Floats– Tracer-dilution technique– Ultrasonic method– Electromagnetic method
![Page 4: Hydraulic Structures for Discharge Measurement](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061510/568167da550346895ddd38eb/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Measurement Approaches• Hydraulic Devices
–Weirs and notches–Orifices–Flumes
• Indirect Techniques–Slope-area method–Rating Curve

Definition of Terms• Stage: Height of water surface
above a fixed datum• Rating: Relationship between
stream stage and discharge• Control: Feature that results in
a one-to-one relationship between stage and discharge

Measuring Velocity• Current meters
– Cup-type (Price and pygmy)– Propeller type– InductanceV = a + bN
where V = flow velocity; a = starting velocity to overcome
mechanical friction; b = equipment calibration constant; N = revolutions/sec

Current Meters

Measuring Velocity
• Pitot Tubes: Suitable only for clean water
• Floats: Suitable for straight channel, V = L/T .

Stage-Discharge Ratings• If it is not possible to install a weir
or flume (large channel), need to develop a stage-discharge rating
• 3 basic types– Simple stage-discharge
•Control produces one-to-one rating
– Slope-stage-discharge– Velocity-stage-discharge

Stream Gauges

Storage Hysterisis• In natural rivers, the H-Q relationship in general
appears to be a loop, rather than single-valued.
![Page 17: Hydraulic Structures for Discharge Measurement](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061510/568167da550346895ddd38eb/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Simple Rating• In general, ratings in natural
channels follow a logarithmic shape (power function)
• Rating has an offset at the “point of zero flow”
• The point of zero flow can be determined graphically

Use of Manning Equation• Stage is also related to the outflow via a
relationship such as Manning's equation

Measurement of Stream Flow
(d) Area-Slope Method
By Manning formula:
where
K1 K 2 if flow cross -section is not uniform, minor loss should be subtracted from h L.
