Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

Discharge streamflow

Course subject(s) 1. Waterbalans

In dit college worden debietmetingen en stroomsnelheidsmetingen behandeld. Snelheidsmetingen kunnen op een punt of over een oppervlak worden uitgevoerd. In dit college worden de verschillende meetmethoden behandeld en hoe daaruit het debiet en de stroomsnelheid kan worden berekend. Er kan gebruik gemaakt worden van elektromagnetisme, het Doppler Effect of stijgende luchtbelletjes.

This lecture contains discharge and streamflow measurements. To take these measurements a sensor is placed in the stream. In this lecture the different types of measurements are discussed and with that how to calculate the velocity and the discharge from the data. Common methods use electromagnetism, the Doppler Effect or the rising bubble technique.
