Funded Activity Summary

The effect of turbulence scale and intensity on water flow measurement using ultrasonic techniques. Management of water resources and water distribution networks is important as Australia and the world face increasing water shortages. A significant aspect of water management is prevention of supply losses in urban and non-urban water distribution networks - a vital factor in improving water security of Australian cities and agricultural production regions. This research will develop ultrasonic flow-velocity technology, which can be retrofitted to existing water distribution networks, providing distributed high precision water flow measurement systems that can prevent the loss each year of more than 155GL of water through leaks and burst in Australia's capital cities alone.
