Product Details

This industrial-scale experimental flume is engineered to facilitate high-fidelity hydraulic research and complex civil engineering projects, offering near-prototype conditions for analyzing open-channel flow, sediment dynamics, and structural interactions. Its exceptional length and cross-section enable detailed studies of large-scale phenomena, such as river morphology, flood propagation, and coastal processes, with minimal scale effects. The flume boasts a 16-meter-long test section with a 600x800mm cross-section, fabricated entirely from durable, corrosion-resistant materials like stainless steel and glass-reinforced plastic. A low-turbulence inlet ensures smooth flow initiation, while a closed-loop system—integrated with water tanks that function as a walkable gallery—provides easy access and consistent flow via a high-capacity pump. Motorized slope adjustment allows precise replication of channel gradients to maintain uniform flow depths, and the system supports extensive accessories, including weirs, piers, and wave generators, for diverse experimental scenarios. Its applications span advanced academic research, professional engineering validation, and environmental impact assessments, particularly for infrastructure like spillways, levees, and estuary defenses. The paramount benefit is its ability to bridge theoretical models and real-world conditions; the extended length permits fully developed flow and large model installations, while the gallery ensures practical usability for instrumentation and observation. This makes it an indispensable tool for innovation in water management, disaster mitigation, and sustainable design.
