PARSHALL FLUME

An 80 mm wide, 7.5-metre long flow and sediment transport channel with a starter kit of models and instruments. It provides students with the ability to study the varying effects of sediment transport, bedform dynamics and fluid flow around weirs and other objects in an open channel.

A culvert model for use with flow channels to provide a clear visual demonstration of the flow in circular culverts.

An optional roughened bed to extend the range of applications and experiments for the FC80 Flow & Sediment Channel Range and FC50 Flume.

For studying discharge characteristics and flow through a cylindrical gate.

An optional siphon spillway to extend the range of applications and experiments for the FC80 Flow & Sediment Channel Range. A siphon spillway for use with flow channels to demonstrate the flow over a siphon spillway.

A Crump weir to demonstrate how the flow in an open channel can be measured using a Crump weir. An optional crump weir to extend the range of applications and experiments for the FC80 Flow & Sediment Channel Range.

Ogee weir with interchangeable flat apron, ski jump and toe block for the comparison of different methods of dissipating energy downstream of an Ogee weir.

For observations and experiments on dividing water flow. An optional flow splitter apparatus to extend the range of applications and experiments for the FC80 Flow & Sediment Channel Range.

A streamlined hump weir to demonstrate how the flow in an open channel can be measured using a streamlined hump. An optional streamlined hump to extend the range of applications and experiments for the FC80 Flow & Sediment Channel Range.

An optional wave generator and beach apparatus to extend the range of applications and experiments for the FC80 Flow & Sediment Channel Range.

For studying discharge characteristics and flow through a radial sector gate. Similar to a sluice gate.

For investigating flow around different shaped bridge piers. Also (if using sediment) for looking at sediment scour.
