    136136The results from the previous experiments were revised to plan new experiments and updated experimental plan and protocol were provided. A calibration for the conductivity probe on the traverse was plotted. Concentration profiles and plots were updated for the latest experiments. Post-processing of the UVP and ADP data for the conducted experiments were carried out. All of our data on the network was updated including the UVP and ADV.

    140140Experiment 1: fixstr1_2609a,b.  Filenames: fixstr1_2609a, fixstr1_2609b. Location: Position 1 (75% down straight section, 58 cm upstream from the end of the straight section). Input rate 5.9 l/s. Density excess 19 kg/m3. Laser was not used in the experiments today. Running basal ADV with ADV !#1 located 7.2 cm, ADV !#2 located at 10 cm and ADV !#3 located at 12 cm above channel bed.
     
    142142fixstr1_2609a: The main goal was to investigate if the concentration of the gravity current, inlet box and tank D were equal (19 kg/m3). The traverse sent one TTL signal to the ADV and didn’t send a return signal so only one measurement at one point was made by the ADVs (all ADVs collected data simultaneously). On the middle ADV (!#2) wrapping occurred which indicates that velocity needs to be increased to 0.6 m/s. UVP files showed a fair amount of noise in the data which requires further investigation. We waited about 7:20 minutes for the flow rate to reach a constant value. One person took 6 samples (every 3 minutes, starting at t = 0) from the mixing tank on the third floor which contained the salt water mixture coming from tank D. A second person took 6 samples (every 3 minutes, starting at t = 0) from the inlet box at the upstream end of the channel. A third person took 3 sets of 12 siphon samples every 5 minutes (starting at t = 0, duration = 1 min).

    144 GoPros were installed at three positions as follows: Position 1 - On top of inlet box looking downstream. Position 2 - Inside inlet box focused on inflow pipe. Position 3 - straight section of channel, looking cross-channel.

    146146Density measurements of the samples showed that the density in the mixing tank on the third floor and tank D were equal (19 km/m3). However, there was a major decrease of density in the inlet box (max density = 14.8 kg/m3). Density of inlet box needs further investigation.

    155155Density of siphon samples from Monday, Sept 26 were measured. Two large PVC tubes (dia ~ 40 cm) were placed in the inlet box and weighted down to reduce the volume (new vol ~ 150 L).
