Numerical Analysis <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Per<strong>for</strong>mance <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
Coated <strong>TDR</strong> Probe<br />
• Electric field <strong>of</strong> <strong>TDR</strong> probes can be analyzed by FEMLAB.<br />
• Effective measured dielectric constant by coated probes and<br />
its sampling area can be determined from FEMLAB results.<br />
• Coated probe can reduce sampling area and energy loss.<br />
Development <strong>of</strong> a New Field <strong>TDR</strong> Scour Sensor<br />
• The field scour sensor can accurately measure scour depth.<br />
• The presented calibration can be used to determine <strong>the</strong> real<br />
dielectric constant measured by <strong>the</strong> sensor.<br />
• The sampling area <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> sensor is smaller <strong>the</strong> drilled hole.<br />
• Field calibration can completed at first installation by using<br />
sensor <strong>of</strong> different length.<br />
