TRAINING OBJECTIVES
It is possible to perform several experiments in the following knowledge areas:
- Study of flow through open channels, measuring variables such as:
– Water height.
– Speed at different points of a cross section.
- Study of uniform flow, gradually varied flow and behavior of surface profiles.
- Study and use of thin edged weir to measure flows.
– Rectangular weir without lateral contraction.
- Study and use of broad crested weir to measure flows.
– Rectangular weir
– Triangular weir
- Study and utilization of the Venturi channel.
- Analysis and study of the flow under sumps.
– Vertical gate.
– Radial gate.
- Study of hydraulic jump.
- Flow analysis on dam spillways.
