AZM7155 Fundamentals of Sediment Transport Fluid Mechanics Lab Equipment Didactic Equipment
- experimental unit for bed-load transport in open channels
- transparent, circular, oval flow channel as open channel
- variable-speed paddle to generate the flow velocity
- experimental section with transparent deepening for holding the sediment
- low-turbulence flow at the inlet to the experimental section thanks to a flow straightener
- paddle driven via electric motor and belt drive
- three different bridge piers for observing fluvial obstacle marks on piers
