The Advanced Hydrological Investigations Apparatus FluidoSurge-X 278 is a laboratory system designed for comprehensive study of hydrological and fluvial processes. Manufactured by SCIENTICO, the apparatus enables investigation of seepage, groundwater flow, precipitation runoff, and sediment transport in river courses. It supports both transient and steady-state experiments under controlled conditions. The system is intended for advanced civil engineering and water resources laboratories.

Product Overview

FluidoSurge-X 278 consists of a sand-filled, inclinable stainless steel experiment tank integrated with a closed water circuit. A precipitation device with adjustable nozzle density and timer simulates rainfall events of varying duration. Groundwater inflow and drainage can be independently controlled through side chambers, while integrated wells enable study of groundwater level variation. River flow conditions and sediment transport are demonstrated using a measuring weir, flow meters, and interchangeable obstacle models installed within the experimental section.

Construction & Design Details

The apparatus is built around a corrosion-resistant stainless steel experiment tank filled with sand to represent soil and river bed conditions. Tank inclination is smoothly adjustable to simulate varying slopes. A precipitation device mounted above the tank generates controlled rainfall events. Groundwater levels are measured via multiple tube manometers connected to the base of the tank. A transparent measuring tank at the drain includes a measuring weir and force sensor for sediment mass determination.

Experiments

  • Effect of rainfall duration on discharge response

  • Determination of soil storage capacity

  • Study of steady seepage flow

  • Investigation of groundwater level variation due to wells

  • Flow behavior in river courses with obstacles

  • Sediment transport around pillars of different shapes

Data Acquisition Software (Optional)

Optional software FluidoSurge-X 278, developed in the NITM LabVIEW™ environment, supports data acquisition, processing, and reporting on Windows systems. The software enables visualization of groundwater levels, flow rates, and sediment transport using tables and graphs. Comprehensive CSV reports containing measured and calculated data can be generated for documentation and analysis.
