Construction & Design Details
The experimental section is constructed using corrosion-resistant materials, with tempered glass side walls allowing unobstructed observation. The inlet element conditions the flow to minimize turbulence before entering the test section. The flume inclination is smoothly adjustable to simulate varying channel slopes. Multiple threaded mounting points along the flume bed allow safe and quick installation of experimental models.
