Advanced Open Channel Flow Experimentation

The trainer enables accurate demonstration of uniform and non-uniform flow conditions inside an open channel system. Students can investigate flow behavior under varying slopes, depths, and discharge rates, helping them understand complex hydraulic principles through real experiments.

Large Experimental Section

The system includes a 2.5-meter-long experimental section with a cross-sectional size of 85 × 300 mm (W × H), providing sufficient space for multiple experiments and accessory integration.

High-Visibility Tempered Glass Construction

The experimental channel features tempered glass side walls, allowing clear observation of water flow patterns, hydraulic jumps, turbulence formation, wave propagation, and sediment movement.

Closed Water Circuit System

The unit operates using a closed-loop water circulation system, ensuring continuous operation with efficient water usage and easy laboratory integration.

Low-Turbulence Flow Entry

A specially designed flow-optimized inlet section ensures smooth and low-turbulence water entry into the flume. This improves experimental accuracy and allows students to observe stable hydraulic conditions.

Adjustable Inclination Mechanism

The inclination of the flume can be precisely adjusted, enabling simulation of channel slopes and generation of controlled flow conditions. This feature is highly valuable for demonstrating real-world hydraulic engineering applications.

Corrosion-Resistant Design

All components that come into contact with water are manufactured using corrosion-resistant materials, including:

• Stainless Steel
• Glass-Reinforced Plastic
• Tempered Glass

This ensures long service life, minimal maintenance, and reliable operation in laboratory environments.
