HM 166 Fundamentals Of Sediment Transport Didactic Equipment Vocational Training Equipment Fluid Mechanics Lab Equipment
Starting conditions for bed-load transport Features - sediment transport in open channels - circulating flow channel with transparent side walls as open channel - observing ripple formation and fluvial obstacle marks Learning objectives/experiments - observation of -- starting conditions for bed-load transport -- how flow velocity affects bed-load transport -- ripple and dune formation on the river bed -- fluvial obstacle mark of bridge piers (scour formation and siltation) -- secondary flows in channel bends - additionally with fine sand -- observation of solid matter flows -- how sediment size and density affect sediment transport Specification [1] experimental unit for bed-load transport in open channels [2] transparent, circular, oval flow channel as open channel [3] variable-speed paddle to generate the flow velocity [4] experimental section with transparent deepening for holding the sediment [5] low-turbulence flow at the inlet to the experimental section thanks to a flow straightener [6] paddle driven via electric motor and belt drive [7] three different bridge piers for observing fluvial obstacle marks on piers Technical data Experimental section - length: 660mm - cross-section WxH: 50x200mm - deepening: 50mm Flow channel - height: 150mm - width: 50...72mm Paddle - 12 blades - Ø 330mm - speed at the paddle: 5,2...70min-1 Measuring ranges - flow velocity: approx. 0...1m/s 230V, 50Hz, 1 phase 230V, 60Hz, 1 phase; 120V, 60Hz, 1 phase UL/CSA optional LxWxH: 1030x410x560mm Weight: approx. 42kg
