Flow Channel

Introduces students to the characteristics of flow in an open channel at an elementary level. * Demonstrating basic phenomena associated with open channel flow

• Visualisation of flow patterns over or around an immersed object.

The channel consists of a clear acrylic working section of large depth-to-width ratio incorporating undershot and overshot weirs at the inlet and discharge ends respectively. Water is fed to the streamlined channel entry via a stilling tank to reduce turbulence. Water discharging from the channel is collected in the volumetric tank and returned to the sump for recirculation. Learn about Flow Channel exporters for optimal educational outcomes..
