ZM7155 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
