Annex
A (normative) Determination of flow direction from
data derived from crossed paths
Tables

direction of flow is not parallel to the channel
axis
2 Speed of sound in water at different temperatures
3 Sound frequency versus path length and clearance
4 Examples of observed coefficients of velocity
Cv(= v/vL) for values of d/D between 0,1 and 0,9
Figures

2 Plan of reflected path gauge
3 Example of flow calculation by mid-section method
4 Typical relation between velocity coefficient
K = v/vL and stage
5 Sample curve of d/D values against mean values of
Cv based upon data from table 4
6 Flat reflector showing effect of temperature
gradients
