About FLOW CHANNEL
Specification:
FLOWCHANNEL
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 iscollected in the volumetric tank of the Hydraulics Bench and returned to thesump for recirculation.
A dye injection system incorporatedat the inlet to the channel enables flow visualization in conjunction with areticule on the rear face of the channel. Models supplied with the channelinclude broad and sharp-crested weirs, large and small-diameter cylinders andsymmetrical and asymmetrical aerofoils, which in conjunction with the inletand discharge weirs, permit a varied range of open channel and flowvisualization demonstrations.
