Surrogate bedload transport measurements with acoustic sensors

• Applicant: Professor Dr.-Ing. Peter Rutschmann
• Subject Area: Geotechnics, Hydraulic Engineering
• Term: from 2017 to 2022
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 354201171

The method of surrogate bedload transport measurements in rivers with acoustic sensors should be decisevely improved for standard application by prototype laboratory tests. The tests would close the gap between classic small-scaled laboratory tests and field tests performed so far.
