Optical flow estimation is known from Computer Vision where it is used to determine obstacle movements through a sequence of images following an assumption of brightness conservation. This paper presents the first study on application of the optical flow method to aerated stepped spillway flows. For this purpose, the flow is captured with a high-speed camera and illuminated with a synchronized LED light source. The flow velocities, obtained using a basic Horn–Schunck method for estimation of the optical flow coupled with an image pyramid multi-resolution approach for image filtering, compare well with data from intrusive conductivity probe measurements. Application of the Horn–Schunck method yields densely populated flow field data sets with velocity information for every pixel. It is found that the image pyramid approach has the most significant effect on the accuracy compared to other image processing techniques. However, the final results show some dependency on the pixel intensity distribution, with better accuracy found for grey values between 100 and 150.
In der wasserbaulichen Forschung werden neben klassischen Messinstrumenten zunehmend kamerabasierte Verfahren genutzt. Diese erlauben neben der Bestimmung von Fließgeschwindigkeiten auch die Detektion der freien Wasseroberfläche oder zeitliche Vermessung von Kolken. Durch die hohen räumlichen und zeitlichen Auflösungen, welche neueste Kamerasensoren liefern, können neue Erkenntnisse in turbulenten, komplexen Strömungen gewonnen werden. Auch in der Praxis können diese Verfahren mit geringem Aufwand wichtige Daten liefern.
The low-pressure system Bernd involved extreme rainfalls in the Western part of Germany in July 2021,
resulting in major floods, severe damages and a tremendous number of casualties. Such extreme events
are rare and full flood protection can never be ensured with reasonable financial means. But still, this
event must be starting point to reconsider current design concepts. This article aims at sharing some
thoughts on potential hazards, the selection of return periods and remaining risk with the focus on Germany.
