Product Details

This extended experimental flume is designed to provide an advanced environment for detailed hydraulic investigations and custom engineering projects, offering flow conditions that closely mimic real-world scenarios. Its primary use is to study a wide range of open-channel flow phenomena, including sediment transport, wave dynamics, and the interaction between flow and structural models like weirs or piers, with enhanced precision due to its longer test section. The flume features a 5-meter long test section with a cross-section of 86x300mm, constructed entirely from corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel and glass-reinforced plastic. A specially designed inlet ensures smooth, low-turbulence flow entry, while a closed water circuit—integrated with water tanks that also function as a standing gallery for easy access—and a powerful pump maintain consistent flow conditions. The motorized inclination adjustment allows precise simulation of channel slopes, facilitating the study of uniform flow at constant depths, and a variety of accessories like flow-measuring flumes or wave generators expand experimental possibilities. Its applications are extensive in both academic research and professional engineering, enabling advanced studies in civil and environmental fields such as flood modeling, bridge hydraulics, and coastal engineering. The key benefit is its combination of scale, accessibility, and versatility; the extended length allows for more developed flow patterns and larger model installations, while the gallery design ensures practical usability. This makes it an invaluable tool for validating theoretical models, conducting innovative research, and training students in complex hydraulic principles.
