Prediction of Hydrodynamics for Unidirectional Flow
Abstract
Our long term goal is to develop an understanding of the relationship between channel geometry and three-dimensional flow features in rivers. One application of such an understanding would be the prediction of channel geometry and other channel characteristics (e.g. roughness) given observations of flow velocities and/or river surface. Over the next biennium, our objectives involve applying previously developed methods to more challenging river geometries, and to exploit different measurement types. Hence, we would like to: 1. Assess the feasibility of determining channel depth utilizing velocity observations from drifters. 2. Assess the feasibility of determining frictional parameters (as a function of space) using remotely sensed observations of surface elevation. 3. Utilize the developed depth-inversion framework for the determination of flow depth in more complex rivers.
