HM 168 Sediment Transport In River Courses Didactic Equipment Vocational Education Equipment Fluid Mechanics Lab Equipment
Investigation of sediment migration with and without structures Features - open-channel bed-load transport - observing the formation of meanders - observing fluvial obstacle marks on structures - movable point gauge for profile measurement in the sediment Learning objectives/experiments - bed-load transport in open channels - how flow velocity affects bed-load transport - ripple formation on the river bed - observing the formation of meanders - fluvial obstacle marks on structures -- bridge pier with rectangular profile -- rounded-nosed bridge pier -- pointed-nosed bridge pier -- island (round or rectangular) Specification [1] open-channel bed-load transport [2] experimental flume with experimental section, inlet element, outlet element, closed water circuit, 1 set of models
