Spillway
The spillway can also be used with the Energy Dissipation (FC300e3) to extend the range of possible experiments.
For use with an FC300 Flume, not included.
FC300E - Experiment
Spillway
The spillway comes in four parts: the spillway, detachable ski jump and plain apron with removable toothed block. It is used to observe and calculate flow and energy dissipation over spillways.
Description
Available Experiments
Energy Dissipation
FC300E3 - Experiment
To be used with either the Spillway (FC300e) or the Ogee Weir with Tappings (FC300e2). The apparatus consists of a long apron and a selection of toothed and solid blocks that can be arranged in any combination on the apron.
For the study of the dissipation of energy
Alternatives
Ogee Weir with Tappings
FC300E2 - Experiment
Similar to the Spillway (FC300e) but with the addition of ten pressure tappings placed over the crest and face of the weir. The tappings are connected to a suitable Manometer (FC300w) or 32-Way Pressure Display (FCA1).
Siphon Spillway
FC300L - Experiment
A clear acrylic spillway that demonstrates the effect of a siphon spillway and the increased flow permitted when compared with an ordinary spillway of a
similar height.
For use with an FC300 Flume, not included.
Self-Regulating Siphon
FC300L2 - Experiment
A clear acrylic, self-regulating siphon that demonstrates the automatic adjustment of its discharge over a wide range while maintaining a mostly constant water level upstream. The siphon passes a mixture of air and water.
For use with an FC300 Flume, not included.
