Water flows in the natural environment Stephen M. Henderson
Waves Currents Sediment Transport
Motivation: $, safety, habitat, pollution etc
Field Instrumentation:velocity/temperature Temperature/Salinity/Depth: 7 instruments, 1Hz sampling, 10-3C accuracy 25 instruments, 4 min sampling, 10-1C accuracy Temperature Velocity: 9 instruments, 8Hz sampling, 10-3m/s accuracy, 2m range, 1.5cm bins, 5cm/s max velocity or 1 min sampling, 5cm/s accuracy, 6m range, 0.3m bins, any velocity or 10 min sampling, 1cm/s accuracy, 20m range, 0.7m bins, any velocity or 2 instruments 64Hz sampling, 10-3m/s accuracy, single measurement in cm3 bin + eddy correlation heat flux East North Vertical
Field Instrumentation:other • 2 weather stations: • Air temperature, relative humidity, velocity, net radiation • GPSs
Pen & paper theory • Water is not created of destroyed, and F=Ma… • Leads to pdes for water motion, sometimes can be solved with standard applied math techniques.
