FLOW CHANNEL

Product Description

The channel consists of a clearacrylic working section of large depth-to-width ratio incorporating undershotand overshot weirs at the inlet and discharge ends respectively. Water is fedto the streamlined channel entry via a stilling tank to reduce turbulence.Water discharging from the channel is collected in the volumetric tank of theHydraulics Bench and returned to the sump for recirculation.

A dye injection systemincorporated at the inlet to the channel enables flow visualization inconjunction with a reticule on the rear face of the channel. Models suppliedwith the channel include broad and sharp-crested weirs, large and small-diametercylinders and symmetrical and asymmetrical aerofoil™s, which in conjunctionwith the inlet and discharge weirs, permit a varied range of open channel andflow visualization demonstrations.
