5 Meter Flume — MOE Lab Tender Details

5 Meter Flume

The Flume is five meters in length and 80mm in width. The flume has a built-in recirculating water supply connected to a digital flow meter for accurate measurements during experimentation.

Experiments
Sluice gate for investigations into hydraulic jump, specific energy and the determination of discharge coefficient.
Submerged sharp-crested weir reveals the relationship between head over a weir and discharge.
A broad-crested weir and the effects of changing the profile of the weir.
Uniform flow in an inclined channel with investigations into the Chezy factor and coefficient.
A Venturi flume to indicate the discharge and surface profile, thus the derivation of the discharge coefficient.
Further experimentation with additional optional models.
