Hydrothermal vents play important roles in the dynamic process of the stratosphere and the circulation of energy materials. Nowadays, invasive devices such as vane-type flow meter and turbine flow meter are commonly utilized to estimate the flow rates of hydrothermal vents. In- situ observation data obtained by LDCP system and CFD methods will be combined to solve the blind area of LDCP system during in-situ observation measurements. The flow rates profiles obtained in this project will improve the research on the circulation of energy materials and mineralization.
