Abstract
An example method for determining fluid flow in an open channel fluid conduit may include coupling a sensor assembly to an exterior surface of the open channel fluid conduit. Measurements may be received from the sensor assembly. The method may further include calculating a flow rate of a fluid within the open channel fluid conduit based, at least in part, on the received measurement.
