Laboratory demonstration of an electromagnetic method for river velocity measurement / by F.E. Roy and J.S. Ford.: En13-5/86-103E-PDF

"An operating laboratory model was set up to demonstrate the electromagnetic method of river gauging, as described by Hershey (1978). The model set up is documented, and the results of some flow calibration runs are presented. The discharge rating of the setup was found to be linear in terms of the measured signal voltage and the immersed depth of the electrodes. The discharge rating was not affected by a change in bed level at the metering section"--Abstract.
