Technical Description
HM 163.32 contains the base for a spillway. This is fitted to the base of the channel in conjunction with the HM 163.54 Base Plate and HM 163.37 (4 different dissipation structures). The base has a ramp section with a cut-out at the end of the ramp. There a dissipation structure is used. In this way different experimental set-ups can be assembled. Tubular seals made of plastic inserted in slots on the side of the weir body complete the experimental set-up. In practice, dissipation structures are used to remove energy from the flow after a weir.
Learning Objectives / Experiments
In conjunction with HM 163.37 and HM 163.54
Generation of different forms of flow by damming the downstream water
Measurement of the flow velocity for super-critical flow (HM 162.50)
Measurement of upstream and downstream water levels using different forms of dissipation structure (flow kept constant)
Investigation of different dissipation structures in respect of their effect on the flow


For exact measurement of water levels, the use of the HM 162.52 Hook and Point Gauge on the moving HM 163.59 Instrument Carriage is recommended.
