Spring 2014
Time domain reflectometry has been used for fluid level measurement and characterization since the 1960's, however, there is little research present in the literature to improve the measurements by using alternate probe designs. Numerical analysis of a dielectric loaded circular waveguide probe...

Application of Time Domain Reflectometry and Heat Pulse Methods for Quantifying Phase Change, Water Flow and Heat Transport in Frozen Soils
DownloadSpring 2015
Understanding water flow and heat transport processes in frozen/freezing soils is limited by methodologies for simultaneous, automated measurement of soil properties affecting soil water and heat flux. The major objective of this dissertation was to develop and evaluate time domain reflectometry...
