Monitoring Inflow Dynamics in a Multipurpose Dam Based on Travel-time Principle.

ABSTRACT: Understanding inflow dynamics in a dam lake forms the basis for optimal dam operation and management practices. However, methods pertaining to adequately determining negative inflows and addressing them, as well as quantifying uncertainties in dam inflow, have been scarcely investigated. In this study, the inflow was observed using two pairs of fluvial acoustic tomography (FAT) systems placed diagonally in a dam lake, forming a crossed-shaped pattern. The "travel-time" principle is the primary approach for measuring the inflow by FAT. The novelty of this study is in discussing the inflow characteristics within a slow water-flow environment monitored by FAT. Based on the reciprocal sound transmission, we upgraded an equation to estimate the flow direction; this newly proposed generalized eq
