Research on Suspended Particle Size Measurement Based on Ultrasonic Backscattered Amplitude Analysis
Measuring the size of suspended particles in water is crucial in related fields such as environmental engineering, marine engineering, and hydraulic engineering. Considering the size distribution of suspended particles in real rivers, the amplitude (Amp) of the backscattering of particles with sizes ranging from 0.006 mm to 0.030 mm was analysed in this research using a lightweight ultrasonic meter developed by the authors and four probes with bandwidths ranging from 3.0 MHz to 30.0 MHz. In the analysis of Amp measurements for different particle sizes, using 0.008 mm as the reference particle size and converting to the rest of the particle sizes, if the Rayleigh scattering condition is satisfied between the particle sizes and the probe frequency, the conversion error value will be between −10% and 10%. This verifies the correctness of the theoretically derived particle size-Amp theory (the positive power relationship between the particle sizes and the Amp) and reflects the validity constraints of designing this experimental setup. The measurement method based on particle backscattering Amp analysis utilised in this study will help to achieve real-time measurements of suspended particles at river sites.
