Abstract:

This work describes the activities performed to support the realization of experiments that simulate the occurrence of a turbidity current in a reservoir. These experiments involved the utilization of an Ultrasonic Velocity Profiler (UVP) to measure the velocity of the current in the form of instantaneous profiles and also a bed profiler to measure the thickness of the deposits. As a result a set of routines programmed in Fortran90 and MATLAB languages have been developed to facilitate the post processing and analysis of the data.
