Specification:
- A transparent, inclinable flow channel through which water can be re-circulated by a pump over a mobile bed to demonstrate the whole range of bed forms from incipient particle movement to bed wash-out.
- Three different discharge rates can be selected (and measured) within the range 0.2 to 0.6 litres/sec.
- The channel slope can be adjusted within the range 0-10%.
- The working section of the channel is 1.55 m long, 78 mm wide and 110 mm deep.
- The equipment is self-contained and may be bench-mounted in either the classroom or laboratory by virtue of its portability.
- A model undershot weir and bridge pier are included for local erosion demonstrations.
- A water level gauge is supplied to calibrate the overshot weir.
