PROFILING METHODS
VPT Method

The Velocity Profiling Technique (VPT) was first described by N. T. Debevoise and R. B. Fernandez in the November 1984 issue of the WPCF Journal.  With this method, a series of point velocity measurements are taken at different depths along the centerline of the flow.  These measurements along with level are input into a VPT computer program which calculates the flow. This is one example of the more advanced profile integration techniques which are possible.
