Measuring Selective Withdrawal Characteristics using an Argonaut Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter in Folsom Lake, California
During an evaluation of the selective withdrawal structure for a municipal and industrial (M&I) water intake at Folsom Dam, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers SELECT model was used to compute the near-field velocity profiles in a thermally stratified reservoir. To verify numerical model results, velocity profiles near the M&I intake structure were collected for one flowrate at three different distances from the trashrack structure. In addition, two velocity profiles were collected near the adjacent penstock intake structure for a single flowrate. This paper presents the measurement techniques used to collect the velocity profiles near trashrack structures using an acoustic Doppler velocimeter. In addition, a comparison between the SELECT-computed and field-measured velocity profiles are made.
