Project Description - Subsystems : Speed and Direction Sensors Sensors manufactured by Cherry Corporation intended for detecting non-magnetic ferrous objects Sensors output a voltage when detecting the presence of a ferrous metallic object Sensors operate by using the Hall Effect with a bias magnetic field GS sensor JS

Project Description - Subsystems : Speed and Direction Sensors The Hall Effect is the voltage created when a magnetic field passes over a conductor Typical Hall Effect sensors only measure the presence of a magnetic field Particles are ferrous, not magnetic. Therefore a bias magnet is introduced. This will allow us to detect the motion of the particles JS

Project Description - Subsystems : Fluid Dynamics Sediment transport processes There are dozens of different transport models that can be generally grouped by particles addressed, complexity of water sources, whether the model is steady state or dynamic, and time period modeled. The flow regime and sediment transport characteristics of rivers are systematically correlated to temporal and spatial changes in channel geometry and bed material size. The total sediment load refers to the sediment transport rate and is defined as the total amount of sediment passing through a given channel cross-section per unit of time Information on bed-material particle size is needed for a variety of qualitative and quantitative purposes. They include streambed monitoring, computations of flow hydraulics, and the advancement in understanding of stream processes. JB
