Sandia National Laboratories – Open Water Capabilities at Sandia National Laboratories
Facility Overview
The Sandia team has two decades of river hydrodynamic/hydraulic measurements and is one of the pioneers of the spatio-temporal averaging method for ADCP measurements for river resource and hydrodynamic characterizations. Sandia staff are SMEs who have helped develop multiple IEC technical specifications, including design requirements, resource assessments, and mechanical load measurements.
