Open Channel Sediment Transport Demonstrator

Product Code : SCL-CELE-14207

The Open Channel Sediment Transport Demonstrator is designed to study the principles of open-channel flow and bed-load sediment transport using sand as the medium. It enables the observation of subcritical and supercritical flow regimes with or without sediment transport.

The apparatus features an inclined flume with a closed water circuit, allowing precise control of flow conditions. The tempered glass sidewalls provide clear visualization, while all components in contact with water are made from corrosion-resistant materials for durability.

The adjustable flume inclination allows fine slope control to produce uniform flow. The system includes a flow-optimized inlet to minimize turbulence and a sediment trap to prevent material recirculation. Additional accessories such as a sluice gate and bridge pier allow the study of scour formation and siltation around structures. Flow visualization can be enhanced with the use of a contrast medium.


Features

  • Study of open-channel flow with or without bed-load transport
  • Inclining experimental flume with closed water circulation system
  • Tempered glass sidewalls for clear observation of flow and sediment movement
  • Smooth inclination adjustment from –1% to +3% for precise slope control
  • Corrosion-resistant construction (stainless steel and glass-reinforced plastic)
  • Flow-optimized inlet element for low-turbulence entry
  • Integrated sediment trap to prevent backflow of sand
  • Closed water circuit with storage tank, pump, and manual flow control
  • Includes sluice gate and rounded bridge pier for fluvial structure studies
  • Flow visualization with contrast medium injection
  • Discharge measurement using a measuring weir at the outlet
  • Level gauge for measuring discharge depth and sediment bed profile
