  • This dataset contains high-speed video recordings and particle image velocimetry (PIV) analysis results from granular flow experiments performed on an inclined flume with a fixed rough substrate, at the University of Edinburgh. Included are the high-speed videos (.mp4), a Word document outlining the experimental details and analysis methods, and figures displaying key analytical results of vertical velocity and granular temperature profiles. The flows consist of sand particles with a volumetric mean diameter of 875 µm, propagating over a substrate of coarser sand with a mean diameter of 1063 µm. Experimental conditions include varying slope angles (34°–42°) to investigate the influence of inclination on flow dynamics. PIV was used to analyse the videos, generating vertical velocity profiles and granular temperature profiles. Lens distortion was corrected using MATLAB to ensure accurate measurements. This dataset is relevant to those interested in granular flow dynamics, natural hazard modelling (e.g., landslides, pyroclastic density currents), and granular flow industrial applications.

  • The dataset is a collection of drone videos collected to calculate surface water flow speeds (velocity) in order to provide field validation of flow speeds calculated from satellite-derived video for the FluViSat project (Hydrological Flow Measurement from Satellite Video). The videos were taken using standard, unmodified DJI-Air2S camera drones on four rivers across England, Australia, Switzerland, and Japan and one tidal site in Scotland. Each video is at least 20-seconds in length, with minimum resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. The videos are taken at nadir angle with the drone stationary above a fixed point in the centre of the river. As such a viewer can clearly observe the surface of the water in these videos. These videos were used to provide a very effective validation dataset for the satellite derived videos. Videos were collected on the following dates and when the site was in the following conditions: - Burdekin River, Australia – 7th and 8th January and 18th May. River in high flow conditions. - River Tweed, Norham, England – 15th March. River at medium flows. - Falls of Lora, Connel, Scotland – 16th and 18th March and 14th, 15th, and 16th July. Tidal race captured at various flow conditions. - Uono River, Negoya, Japan – 10th May. River at medium-high flows. - River Rhine at Rhine Falls, Switzerland – 18th August. River at low to medium flows. This work was carried out under the Future-EO-1 EO Science for Society, and funded by, the European Space Agency.
