A1 - Bung, Daniel Bernhard ED - Ortega-Sánchez, Miguel T1 - Application of RGB-D cameras in hydraulic laboratory studies T2 - Proceedings of the 39th IAHR World Congress N2 - Non-intrusive measuring techniques have attained a lot of interest in relation to both hydraulic modeling and prototype applications. Complimenting acoustic techniques, significant progress has been made for the development of new optical methods. Computer vision techniques can help to extract new information, e. g. high-resolution velocity and depth data, from videos captured with relatively inexpensive, consumer-grade cameras. Depth cameras are sensors providing information on the distance between the camera and observed features. Currently, sensors with different working principles are available. Stereoscopic systems reference physical image features (passive system) from two perspectives; in order to enhance the number of features and improve the results, a sensor may also estimate the disparity from a detected light to its original projection (active stereo system). In the current study, the RGB-D camera Intel RealSense D435, working on such stereo vision principle, is used in different, typical hydraulic modeling applications. All tests have been conducted at the Utah Water Research Laboratory. This paper will demonstrate the performance and limitations of the RGB-D sensor, installed as a single camera and as camera arrays, applied to 1) detect the free surface for highly turbulent, aerated hydraulic jumps, for free-falling jets and for an energy dissipation basin downstream of a labyrinth weir and 2) to monitor local scours upstream and downstream of a Piano Key Weir. It is intended to share the authors’ experiences with respect to camera settings, calibration, lightning conditions and other requirements in order to promote this useful, easily accessible device. Results will be compared to data from classical instrumentation and the literature. It will be shown that even in difficult application, e. g. the detection of a highly turbulent, fluctuating free-surface, the RGB-D sensor may yield similar accuracy as classical, intrusive probes.

There are more than 40 temperature sensors and several soil moisture content sensors distributed around the system, allowing a detailed monitoring under different operating conditions.In the view of the modern development of renewable energies along with the newly concepts known as Internet of Things and Industry 4.0 (high-tech strategy from the German government), we created a user-friendly web application, which will connect the things (sensors) with the open network (www). Besides other advantages, this allows a continuous remote monitoring of the data from the numerous sensors at an arbitrary sampling rate.Based on the recorded data, we will also present first results from numerical simulations, taking into account all relevant heat transport processes.The aim is to improve the understanding of these processes and their influence on the thermal behavior of shallow geothermal systems in the unsaturated zone. This will in turn facilitate the prediction of the performance of these systems and therefore yield an improvement in their dimensioning when designing a specific shallow geothermal installation.

(S. 70-93) Beitrag zum 1. Aachener Softwaretag in der Wasserwirtschaft <1,2007, Aachen> Einleitung [des Autors] Die hydrodynamische Kanalnetzmodellierung ist ein Standardwerkzeug für die Bemessung von Kanalnetzen. Neben der Berechnung der hydrologischen und hydraulischen Gegebenheiten in einem städtischen Einzugsgebiet gehören auch weiterführende Technologien mittlerweile zum Standard. So können alle steuerbaren Elemente eines Kanalnetzes dynamisch so optimiert werden, dass die Leistungsfähigkeit des Kanalnetzes zusätzlich gesteigert werden kann. Automatische Werkzeuge zur dynamischen hydraulischen Schmutzfrachtberechnung ermöglichen die Erweiterung der Steuerung – insbesondere von Entlastungsanlagen – im Hinblick auf die entlasteten Schmutzfrachten und geben darüber hinaus detaillierte Informationen für den Betrieb der Kläranlage. Weiterführende biologische Prozessmodellierungen ergänzen dieses Themenfeld. GIS Werkzeuge können bei der räumlich differenzierten Modellierung von Kanalnetzen wertvolle Dienste leisten. Die detaillierte Betrachtung einzelner Haltungsflächen in ihrem räumlichen Zusammenhang ist damit ebenso möglich wie eine komplette Verwaltung aller für die Kanalnetzmodellierung notwendigen Daten in einem übersichtlichen grafischen Menü. Die Grenzen der Kanalnetzmodellierung lagen in früheren Zeiten an dessen Rand. Detaillierte Informationen über die Wege des Wassers auf der Geländeoberfläche, an der Schnittstelle zu Vorflutern und in der Interaktion mit Grundwasser waren bisher nicht modelltechnisch bewertbar. Eine dynamische Kopplung verschiedener Modelle zur Darstellung aller relevanten hydraulischen Prozesse ermöglicht eine integrative Betrachtung aller möglichen Wege, die das Wasser in der Stadt nehmen kann (Mark & Djordjevic, 2006). Dieser Beitrag präsentiert den Stand der Technik für die integrierte Modellierung städtischer Überschwemmungen mit Hilfe der Modellkopplung von Oberflächenmodellen und Kanalnetzmodellen.
