SS250603A-G-11 Flow Channel School Educational Equipment Vocational Trainer Workbench Lab Fluid Mechanics Equipment

The channel consists of a clear acrylic working section of large depth-to-width ratio incorporating undershot and overshot weirs at the inlet and discharge ends respectively. Water is fed to the streamlined channel entry via a stilling tank to reduce turbulence. Water discharging from the channel is collected in the volumetric tank of the hydraulics bench and returned to the sump for recirculation. A dye injection system incorporated at the inlet to the channel enables flow visualization in conjunction with a graticule on the rear face of the channel.Models supplied with the channel include broad and sharp-crested weirs, large and small-diameter cylinders and symmetrical and asymmetrical aerofoils. These in conjunction with the inlet and discharge weirs, permit a varied range of open channel and flow visualization demonstrations, Adjustable feet permit levelling.
