项目摘要

This project will develop and test a new instrument capable of simultaneously measuring the flow velocity, suspendedsediment concentration and grain size of multi-phase fluid flows across multiple dimensions at high temporal resolution. Existingcommercially-available instruments permit the quantification of multi-dimensional velocities either at-a-point or over smallprofiles and other commercially-available instruments permit the quantification of suspended sediment and grain sizeprofiles, but no commercially-available instrument permits the simultaneous measurement of both multi-dimensional velocityand sediment profiles.The development of such an instrument will lead to a step change in the quantification of key processes within a range ofenvironmental and industrial two-phase flows, including quantification of the turbulent shear stresses responsible for drivingerosion, transport and deposition of sediments in riverine and coastal environments through to flow processes in a range ofindustrial flow processes and water treatment facilities. Such an instrument will therefore have wide utility and significantcommercial potential. The work within the programme will design, build, test and validate both hardware and the softwarerequired to run the instrument. The results will be bench-marked and tested against a suite of existing instrumentation foreach of the component measurements as part of the ongoing aligned ERC Consolidator Project. The PoC also has anembedded developer (Ubertone) with robust IPR agreements in place, and as well as end user partners involved in theprogramme of work in a prototype testing phase, which together provide and outcome the development of a pathway tomarket for the new technology developed.

该项目将开发和测试一种能够同时测量流速，悬浮液浓度和粒度在高时间分辨率下多个维度的多相流动的晶粒尺寸的新仪器。现有的商业上可获得的仪器允许量化多维速度AT-A点或小型生产仪和其他商业上可用的仪器允许量化悬挂式沉积物和谷物sieprofiles的悬挂式仪器，但无需进行商业上的仪器，可以进行多种多样的仪器，以进行多种多样的启动式启动，以置于多种多样的范围内。量化环境和工业两相流中的关键过程，包括量化河流和沿海环境中沉积物的湍流剪切应力，运输和沉积，通过工业流量流程和水处理设施的流动过程。因此，这种工具将具有广泛的效用和重要的商业潜力。该程序中的工作将设计，构建，测试和验证硬件和Softwarreequred以运行仪器。作为正在进行的对齐的ERC合并项目的一部分，将根据现有仪器进行台式和测试。 POC还与稳健的知识产协议合成了开发人员（Ubertone），以及在原型测试阶段参与工作的最终用户合作伙伴，该阶段共同为开发了新技术提供了通道潮流的开发和结果。
