Non-Contacting Capacitive Wave Transducers. Part II. Design and Development of a Capacitive Wave Transducer,

Abstract

A non-contacting capacitive wave transducer, using a horizontal electrode to sense the vertical distance to the water surface, has been developed to measure wave profile and amplitude in hydraulic models and flumes. The factors determining accuracy are analyzed; circuits and practical design features are given.
