Acquisition of Hydraulics Instrumentation for Field-Based Research

该合同提供了70%的部分资金支持，用于购买用于高梯度、基岩和砾床溪流水力学现场研究的仪器。仪器包的现场部署将由科罗拉多州立大学地球资源系的首席研究员和她的研究小组指导。科罗拉多州立大学承诺提供收购所需的剩余资金。由于缺乏对流速分布、二次流、地表水梯度和作用在河道边界上的水力的详细测量，人们对高坡度河流的水力状况还不是很了解。要获得的仪器系统将允许测量必要的详细数据集，以了解这些河流的水力学和流动能量消耗

9907048Wohl This award provides seventy-percent partial funding support for the acquisition of instrumentation to be used in field-based research on the hydraulics of high-gradient, bedrock and boulder-bed streams. Field deployment of the instrument package will be directed by the Principal Investigator and her research team from the Department of Earth Resources at Colorado State University. The Colorado State University is committed to providing the remaining funds needed for the acquisition. The hydraulic regimes of high-gradient rivers are not well understood, primarily due to a lack of detailed measurements of velocity distribution, secondary flow, surface-water gradients, and hydraulic forces acting on channel boundaries. The instrument system to be acquired will allow measurements of the detailed datasets necessary for understanding hydraulics and flow energy expenditure along these rivers.***
