HYDRAULIC FLOW DEMONSTRATOR S16
S16 configured as an open channel showing flow over an elevated section of the bed with a hydraulic jump forming on the downstream slope
Demonstrate flow through both open channels and closed conduits using this highly visual accessory to the F1-10 Hydraulics Bench
Unique elevating bed section and models of various hydraulic structures allow the difficult concepts of critical flow and energy changes to be clearly demonstrated and analysed
Working section large enough for the various flow phenomena to be seen clearly by a group of students - enables a teacher to provide practical demonstrations at the same time as explaining the theory
Demonstrations can be set up quickly and easily, including varying the upstream and downstream flow conditions
Ideal for student project work - user constructed models of different hydraulic structures can be evaluated
HYDRAULIC FLOW DEMONSTRATOR S16
DEMONSTRATION CAPABILITIES
The Armfield S16 Hydraulic Flow Demonstrator simply connects to a standard F1-10 Hydraulics Bench to permit the study of the following basic aspects of fluid flow:
Closed conduit flow
- Application of the Bernoulli and Continuity equations to converging and diverging flow
- Effect of gradual and sudden changes in cross section (energy losses)
- Using a contraction as a flow measuring device
- Using a Pitot tube to measure velocity / velocity profile
- Flow through a Culvert
Open channel flow
- Flow beneath an Undershot Weir (Sluice Gate)
- Flow over Sharp Crested, Broad Crested and Ogee Weirs
- Using hydraulic structures to measure flow in an open channel
- Effect of changes in upstream and downstream water level
- Characteristics of Clinging, Aerated, Depressed and Drowned Nappes
- Sub-critical, Critical and Super-critical flow/ depth. Changes in Specific Energy and control imposed by the minimum energy condition
- Characteristics of Hydraulic Jumps
- Force and energy conditions in a Hydraulic Jump
- Flow patterns associated with Hydraulic Jumps
- Flow over Drop Structures / Energy Dissipation
- Changes in flow profile in relation to the Froude Number (predicting flow conditions in an open channel)
- Observation of flow patterns associated with flow around hydraulic structures
- Velocity of gravity waves in shallow water / Formation of surface waves near critical depth
- Project work Evaluation of user constructed hydraulic structures
