Abstract :
Laboratory tests were performed by NOAA/NOS´s Test and Evaluation Laboratory (T&EL) on a new electromagnetic-type current sensor and a new acoustic-type current sensor. The simulation methods are described for attaining a performance description of the sensor´s dynamic response and steady flow characteristics in the laboratory. Test results and data interpretation are discussed.
