The PIs have built a prototype in situ digital particle image velocimetry (DPIV) system, the Self- Contained Underwater Velocimetry Apparatus (SCUVA), to address this problem and have performed preliminary tests to determine its feasibility. The PIs request funds to develop the second phase version of the SCUVA system that will incorporate real time data processing and display for in situ diver evaluation, three dimensional flow measurement using particle tracking velocimetry (PTV), motion stabilization and improved ergonomics. The second phase SCUVA will be field tested and tutorial materials for its use developed to facilitate exchange of this technology with other interested investigators. Broader ImpactsThe proposed instrumentation will be available to other researchers for their projects. A proposed manual will aid in the ability of other researchers to use and test the SCUVA. In addition, there are plans to include undergraduate and graduate students in the building and testing of the apparatus. Costello and Colin have a solid track record in including students in their research. In the past, their undergraduate students have presented their work at national scientific meetings. This will be a great learning opportunity in interdisciplinary research and instrumentation development for these students.

PI已经建立了一个原型原位数字粒子图像测速（DPIV）系统，自给式水下测速装置（SCUVA），以解决这个问题，并进行了初步测试，以确定其可行性。PI要求提供资金，以开发SCUVA系统的第二阶段版本，该系统将包括真实的实时数据处理和显示，用于现场潜水员评估，使用粒子跟踪测速仪进行三维流量测量，运动稳定性和改进的人机工程学。第二阶段将对SCUVA进行实地测试，并编写使用指导材料，以促进与其他感兴趣的调查人员交流这一技术。更广泛的影响拟议的仪器将提供给其他研究人员的项目。拟议的手册将有助于其他研究人员使用和测试SCUVA的能力。此外，还计划让本科生和研究生参与该仪器的建造和测试。科斯特洛和科林有一个坚实的记录，包括学生在他们的研究。在过去，他们的本科生在国家科学会议上介绍了他们的工作。这将是一个很好的学习机会，在跨学科的研究和仪器开发为这些学生。
