The GUNT HM 163.51 Venturi Flume is designed to determine the discharge of a flume through a specially shaped section with defined lateral contraction. This hydraulic accessory demonstrates the relationship between flow rate, velocity, and head in open-channel flow systems. The flume’s design enables detailed study of flow behavior, including acceleration, flow transition, and hydraulic jump formation, making it an essential tool for fluid mechanics education and research.
Product Features
- Used to determine the discharge of a flume using a specially shaped Venturi section
- Defined lateral contraction and optionally shaped bottom for controlled flow behavior
- Constriction causes subcritical discharge upstream and acceleration to supercritical flow in the throat
- Critical discharge occurs at the narrowest cross-section of the flume
- Hydraulic jump forms in the expansion section, demonstrating flow energy transformation
- Consists of two transparent side elements and a flat base plate for clear observation
- Provides visual understanding of flow transitions, energy distribution, and hydraulic phenomena
Benefits
- Enables precise study of open-channel flow and hydraulic jump formation
- Ideal for visualizing subcritical, critical, and supercritical flow conditions
- Durable transparent construction allows easy observation and analysis
- Enhances learning and experimentation in fluid mechanics laboratories
