Near-bed flow fields

Studying near-bed flows over mobile sediment beds is challenging. There is the measurement challenge on the one hand, needing equipment that is suitable to provide near-bed flow data, which can be spatially and temporally decomposed. On the other hand, the mobile nature of the boundary does not allow correlation of flow data to a known boundary. Presently we use PIV and acoustic Doppler velocimeter techniques for our projects.
