Unmanned aerial vehicle flow measurement equipment

Functional Application

UAV flow measurement is applied to online monitoring of medium and high water flow in rivers. It is equipped with multi-rotor UAVs and radar current meters, and combines flow measurement software to calculate flow in real time, and outputs flow calculation tables and corresponding water level calculation tables.

Equipment Operation

The UAV operator plans the flight route through the UAV supporting software, either directly planning or loading existing waypoints for planning. After completing the flight route planning, the UAV will fly and measure according to the planned route, measuring the flow velocity corresponding to different vertical lines, and calculating the flow based on the existing cross-sectional shape.

Equipment Limitations

It can only measure medium and high water flow, and cannot measure low water flow; its wind resistance is generally around level 7, and in areas with frequent typhoons, its usage frequency is limited during typhoon seasons.
