2. Water metering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_metering

   A velocity water meter Internal structure of a velocity water meter. A velocity-type meter measures the velocity of flow through a meter of known internal capacity. The speed of the flow can then be converted into a volume of flow to determine the usage. There are several types of meters that measure water flow velocity, including jet meters ...

3. Acoustic Doppler current profiler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_Doppler_Current...

   The result is the net current profile. Bottom track provides the foundation for surveys of the water currents in coastal areas. In deep water where the acoustic signals cannot reach the bottom, the ship velocity is estimated from a more complex combination of velocity and heading information from GPS, gyro, etc.

4. Ultrasonic flow meter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasonic_flow_meter

   Schematic view of a flow sensor. An ultrasonic flow meter is a type of flow meter that measures the velocity of a fluid with ultrasound to calculate volume flow. Using ultrasonic transducers, the flow meter can measure the average velocity along the path of an emitted beam of ultrasound, by averaging the difference in measured transit time between the pulses of ultrasound propagating into and ...

5. Flow measurement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_measurement

   Velocity times the cross-sectional area yields a flow rate which can be integrated into volumetric flow. There are two types of area velocity flowmeter: (1) wetted; and (2) non-contact. Wetted area velocity sensors have to be typically mounted on the bottom of a channel or river and use Doppler to measure the velocity of the entrained particles.

6. Stream gauge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stream_gauge

   This record then serves as an assessment of the volume of water that passes by the stream gauge and is useful for many tasks associated with hydrology. In those instances where a velocity measurement is additionally used as a surrogate, an index velocity determination is conducted. This analysis uses a velocity sensor, often either magnetic or ...

7. Current meter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_meter

   Travel time meters are generally more accurate than Doppler meters, but only record the velocity between the transducers. Doppler meters have the advantage that they can determine the water velocity at a considerable range, and in the case of an ADCP, at multiple ranges.
