STREAMLINED HUMP

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.

An optional culvert apparatus to extend the range of applications and experiments for the FC80 Flume Range.

An optional Parshall Flume to extend the range of applications and experiments for the FC80 Flume Range to demonstrate how flow may be measured with minimal effect on upstream conditions.

An optional roughened bed to extend the range of applications and experiments for the FC80 Flume Range. It investigates the effect of roughened beds on the flow characteristics in open channels.

An optional cylindrical gate to extend the range of experiments for the FC80 Flume Range to include demonstrations of simple underflow gate regulation.

An optional siphon spillway to extend the range of applications and experiments for the FC80 Flume Range. It demonstrates the effect of a siphon spillway and the increased flow permitted when compared with an ordinary spillway at similar height.

An optional crump weir to extend the range of applications and experiments for the FC80 Flume Range to include demonstrations of flow measurement techniques used in rivers and waterways.

An optional Dam Spillway to extend the range of applications and experiments for the FC80 Flume Range to include demonstrations of flow control techniques used in dams and levees.

An optional flow splitter apparatus to extend the range of applications and experiments for the FC80 Flume Range.

An optional wave generator and beach apparatus to extend the range of applications and experiments for the FC80 Flume Range. It demonstrates the dissipation of waves impinging on a beach.

An optional radial section gate to extend the range of experiments and applications for the FC80 Flume Range to include demonstrations of the head/flow and discharge characteristics of a radial gate.

An optional Bridge Piers set for the FC80 Flume range, including cylinder, round nose, square and sharp nose piers, for study and comparison of different conditions.
