Standard Teaching & Research Flume Deluxe

An essential tool for hydraulics and civil engineers engaged in teaching basic principles or researching solutions to practical problems. Designed for studying the flow of water through open channels with free surfaces exposed to atmospheric pressure.

An essential tool for hydraulics and civil engineers engaged in teaching basic principles or researching solutions to practical problems. Many applications in fluid mechanics are associated with the flow of water through an open channel where the water has a free surface that is exposed to the air at atmospheric pressure.
