Non-contacting capacitive wave transducers, part 2: Design and development of capacitive wave transducer
Abstract
A device which uses an electrode to sense the vertical distance to the water surface was developed to measure wave profile and amplitude in hydraulic models and flumes. The factors determining accuracy are analyzed; circuits and practical design features are given.
