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