Applications
Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCP)
Nortek makes several different model series of acoustic doppler current profilers (ADCP). Each model series is targeted for specific applications, ranging from the estuary to the open ocean.
Study of waves & velocity over different substrate
Three Nortek Vector Velocimeters were used in Mallorca to study the effects of different substrates on waves and near-bottom velocities.
Multi-instrument experiment at CIEM large scale flume
What happens when a wave passes by? How can the flowfield be characterized when there are waves superimposed on a turbulent bottom boundary layer? These are questions they wanted to answer at the large scale wave flume CIEM in Barcelona. The solution to the challenge was a grid of Vectrinos.
Wireless Vectrino
Our friends at Nortek China have tested and installed the first Vectrinos on a wireless link. Since the hydraulic laboratories in China are often large, it is not always practical to run cables across the models. We believe this new solution will prove practical in a variety of environments
AWAC Used for Ship Wake Study
The Acoustic Surface Tracking (AST) capability of the AWAC was used for a comprehensive ship wake study by engineers at the Naval Surface Warfare Center, USA.
