Open Channel Sediment Transport .
Open Channel Sediment Transport
Specification:- Open Channel Sediment Transport
- Investigation of open-channel flow with and without bed-load transport
- Experimental flume, consisting of experimental section, inlet element, water outlet and closed water circuit
- Smoothly adjustable inclination of the experimental section
- Side walls of the experimental section are made of tempered glass for excellent observation of the experiments
- All surfaces in contact with water are made of corrosion-resistant materials
- Flow-optimized
inlet element for low-turbulence entry to the experimental section;
inlet element with Sediment trap to prevent sediment flowing back
- Closed water circuit with water tank with sediment trap for coarse sand, pump and manual flow rate adjustment
- Sluice gate and bridge pier for experiments with and without sediment transport
- Visualisation of the flow using a contrast medium
- Discharge measurement via measuring weir in the water drain
- Level gauge for measuring the discharge depth and the height of the sediment surface
