HM 160

Multi-Purpose Teaching Flume

Technical Description

Using the HM 160 Multi-Purpose Teaching Flume in conjunction with the comprehensive accessories, the behaviour of flows can be demonstrated in numerous experiments. This makes it possible for researchers and students to carry out experiments, above all, in the area of open flume structures in hydraulic engineering. The measuring section of the base unit is 2.5 m long and has transparent side walls. This can be extended to 5 m by adding an additional element. Important elements of the Multi-Purpose Teaching Flume are the specially shaped inlet area by means of which a homogeneous flow is obtained, a centrifugal pump for setting up the water circuit, a flow rate measuring device and a manual inclination adjustment mechanism designated to compensate flow losses or to simulate natural slope.

Learning Objectives / Experiments

Numerous experiments are possible with the comprehensive accessories, e.g.:
Demonstration of the influence of the wall shape on the flow velocity
Investigation of the transition from running to shooting flow
Investigation of flow processes on a wide range of components and weirs
