Flow Measurement in Open Channels and Closed Conduits, Volume 1 is a comprehensive collection of papers from a 1977 symposium, offering wide coverage of methods and instruments used to measure flow in water and other fluids.
The book brings together experimental, analytical, and modeling approaches to flow measurement in both open channels and closed conduits.
This edition highlights how new techniques and traditional devices work in real-world settings. It discusses how to identify and analyze uncertainties, and how standards and international practices evolve in this field. The material is suitable for engineers, researchers, and professionals involved in designing, installing, and maintaining flow measurement systems.
- Overview of traditional devices like weirs, flumes, meters, and dye-dilution methods
- Discussion of newer technologies, including laser, acoustic, and digital computation approaches
- Practical insights into error analysis, field applications, and modeling of flow
- Emphasis on measurement uncertainties and their impact on real-world data
Ideal for readers who work with flow measurement in water systems, wastewatER treatment, and related industries, as well as those involved in standards and calibration of measurement devices.
