Open channel Deluxe

This experimental unit can be used to demonstrate the effect of various obstacles on the energy level in open-channel flow. Fundamentals required for the design of artificial shipping channels or for the regulation of rivers and barrages can be taught on a very small scale.

• open flume with different magnetic obstacles for demonstration of the flow
• transparent experimental flume
• demonstration of energy levels and losses with different weirs and piers
• demonstration of energy dissipation in the stilling basin with end sill and dentated sill as well as ogee-crested weir with ski jump
• water level regulation with siphon weir
• determination of flow rates with Venturi flume
• flow rate in experimental flume can be adjusted via the base module
• determination of water levels (energy levels) via digital pressure measurement
• automatic identification of accessories via RFID technology
• experiment execution and display of measured values via touch screen (HMI)
• network capability: access to ongoing experiments and their results from up to 10 external workstations simultaneously via the local network
• water supplied via the base module
