SEDIMENT TRANSPORT DEMONSTRATION CHANNEL S8 MKII

Mã sản phẩm: S8 MKII

This improved version of the Armfield sediment transport teaching facility allows demonstration of the full range of bedforms that arise in a mobile bed as the flow and/or slope are increased. 

The channel can be used to perform most of the experiments and demonstrations usually undertaken in much larger laboratory flumes, but at much lower cost and without the need for technician back-up. The equipment is portable, and therefore may be used in the classroom as well as in the laboratory. Although too small for research applications, this demonstration flume can play a useful role in any course concerning the mechanics of open channel flow and sediment transport, including those in Departments of Civil Engineering, Geology and Physical Geography.

SEDIMENT TRANSPORT DEMONSTRATION CHANNEL S8 MKII

Demonstration Capabilities

Fixed, smooth bed flow

The flume may be used without sediment on the bed to demonstrate the following flow phenomena and governing equations:

  • Tranquil, sub-critical flow - movement of surface waves upstream against flow
  • Rapid, super-critical flow - dominance of inertial over gravity forces, 'shock waves' from flow obstructions 
  • Hydraulic jump - transition from super to sub critical flow, air entrainment, mixing
  • Turbulence - flow visualisation for example by dye injection from a hypodermic syringe (not supplied)
  • Flow measurement - using sharp crested weirs
  • Governing equations of open channel flow - Reynolds' number, Froude number, continuity, Bernoulli's equation, weir equations

FLOW OVER A MOBILE SAND-BED
Sequence of bedforms associated with increasing flow intensity and sediment transport rate. The following bedforms are exhibited (as discharge and/or slope are increased):-

Lower Regime

  • plane-bed (no motion)
  • ripples
  • ripples and dunes
  • dunes
  • washed-out dunes

Upper Regime

  • plane-bed (with motion)
  • standing waves
  • anti-dunes
  • breaking anti-dunes
  • chutes and pools
