Abstract

Water flow systems in open channels are designed according to certain levels. Flow rate increases in open channels can bring many disasters. Therefore, it is necessary to routinely measure flow in open channels. In addition to rivers and streams, open channels are used in many areas in city life. If open channels are not checked regularly, floods may occur in sudden rains and human life may be endangered. Practical problems like measurement, control and linearization of mechanical outputs can be solved within the context of function generation problem. In this work, an exemplary design associated with the measurement of water velocities in open channels and the resulting apparatus has been shown. To test its performance, velocities have been compared with those obtained by the constructed prototype. The results have been observed to be consistent with each other.
