Article Synopsis
  • This study explores using ultrasonic sensors to detect and measure vertical vortices at flood discharge outlets in real-time, supporting findings with numerical simulations and experimental models.
  • The research demonstrates how sound signals change when passing through vortices, allowing for the identification and analysis of vortex characteristics, validated through comparisons with Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV).
  • Results show that the proposed acoustic measurement method is effective, accurately capturing vortex parameters like core radius (0.03~0.05 m) and maximum tangential velocity (0.5 m/s) with a measurement error below 10%.
