Meas. spot optimization

rq-discharge-meas-spot-optimization

Inactive if parameter Channel type Channel type is set to covered.

This parameter describes the expected flow velocity distribution within the measurement spot as illustrated in Figure 24. For a more heterogeneous flow distribution a wider spectral band width has to be selected. The options are as follows:

ID

Option

Description

1

very constant veloc.

homogenous water surface, small bandwidth

2

standard (default)

heterogeneous water surface, wide bandwidth

3

bank area

heterogeneous water surface with very different velocities, very wide bandwidth

4

splash water

Splashing water surface, full bandwidth

For the initial measurements at a new site the option standard is recommended. Later on the measurement may be improved by selecting another optimization option.
