Tittel

Laboratory investigation of the apparent bedload velocity measured by ADCPs under different transport conditions

Sammendrag

Several studies have investigated the use of the bottom tracking (BT) mode of acoustic current Doppler profilers (ADCPs) for evaluating bedload transport. The raw apparent bedload velocity is usually noisy and contains erroneous data. This study investigates how bedload dynamics influence acoustic processes occurring at the riverbed (i.e., volume and roughness scattering). The accuracy of ADCPs apparent bedload velocity measurements is analyzed in two sets of laboratory experiments using two ADCPs working at different frequencies (2MHz RDI StreamPro and 3MHz SonTekM9), with a variety of sediment materials and different hydraulic conditions. Simultaneously, the velocity and surface concentration of the mobile sediments are measured using high-resolution cameras. De-spiking and filtering are applied to the raw data and the temporal average of the apparent bedload velocity is spatially normalized. The percentage of filtered erroneous velocity data from the ADCP demonstrates a strong correlation with the surface concentration of the mobile particles. Velocities measured with the M9 matched the particle velocities measured by image velocimetry better than those measured with the StreamPro, which appeared to underestimate the bedload velocity by a factor of 2-4. This suggests that instruments with different acoustic frequency yield a different interpretation of the apparent velocity; instruments with lower acoustic frequency and larger acoustic sampling length are more affected by the fixed surface beneath the layer of moving particles. These results bear out that the filtered apparent bedload velocity can be used to estimate the spatial velocity of the bedload, but its dependence on a set of acoustic properties has to be further investigated.
