Experimental flume 100 x 300 mm Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Product Code : SCL-CELE-14077

This experimental apparatus, characterized by its long experimental section (2.5m or 5m), is a comprehensive hydraulic flume designed for in-depth investigation of open channel flow and hydrodynamic principles. The closed-loop water circuit, coupled with precise inclination adjustment, allows researchers and students to model and analyze a wide spectrum of natural and engineered flow conditions. The core utility lies in empirically demonstrating flow phenomena ranging from uniform and non-uniform discharge to critical flow transitions like the hydraulic jump, alongside the study of energy dissipation and the performance of crucial control structures. This platform is essential for validating classical flow formulae and exploring complex topics like transient wave dynamics and sediment transport [5].
