JBA Trust hydraulic flume showing how engineered structures affect flow in rivers (full video)

  • Опубліковано 4 лип 2024
  • The mini flume shows the flow of water in a simple channel, driven by a system of recirculating pumps. It shows scale models of typical engineered structures such as weirs, bridges, culverts and debris screens. The mini flume is particularly useful in helping to understand some of the causes of flooding and how good design and maintenance of rivers and drainage channels can help to manage flood risk.

    • @acky91
      @acky91 3 роки тому +7

      It is not true, this level rising and slower velocity is from local energy losses. The slope. Of the river is higher in upstream and therefore velocity is higher. Downstream slope is slighter, velocity is reduced. Model is showing constant slope!!

    This reminds me a lot of my casting classes. We did a lot of fluid flow simulations to design molds for castings. A man named Dr. John Campbell took some xrays of castings while they were being poured, and found that water is actually a pretty good analog for molten iron. So some of the models people use to demonstrate casting techniques look a whole lot like what you're using there :)
