Water Measurement Flumes

Subtopic: Water Measurement Flumes

Question Statement:

In stream velocity measurement using a current meter by the two-point method, measurements are taken at:

Options:

  • (A) $0.2$ and $0.8$ of the flow depth from the water surface, and averaged as $\bar{v} = (v_{0.2} + v_{0.8})/2$
  • (B) $0.5$ and $1.0$ of depth
  • (C) $0.1$ and $0.9$ of depth
  • (D) $0.3$ and $0.7$ of depth

Answer Key:

A

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

The two-point method at $0.2 d$ and $0.8 d$ closely captures the logarithmic velocity profile and gives mean vertical velocity.
