The GUNT Flow Demonstration Unit enables the study of different flow processes in both open and closed channels using a single transparent experimental flume. It features a height-adjustable sill, interchangeable weirs, and a closed water circuit. The system allows quick transitions between open-channel and closed-channel experiments by adjusting the water level and control structures.
Product Features
- Designed to demonstrate various flow processes in open channels with control structures
- Allows investigation of pressure components in closed-channel (pipe) flow
- Transparent experimental flume with upper limit for clear visibility of water behavior
- Height-adjustable sill enables simulation of different flow cross-sections
- Closed water circuit with adjustable plate weir to regulate water level at the outlet
- Quickly adaptable between open and closed channel configurations
- Low water level setup for open-channel flow studies using sill or bottom-mounted weirs
- Demonstration of discharge under a gate using interchangeable control structures
- High water level setup to simulate full cross-sectional flow in closed-channel conditions
- Sill adjustment modifies flow cross-section during closed-channel experiments
- Includes measuring tubes to detect static and total pressure across the flow cross-section
- Flow velocity determined by evaluating pressure differences from measuring tubes
Benefits
- Dual-functionality for open and closed channel experimentation in one setup
- Enhanced observation with clear, transparent flume design
- Easy transition between experiment modes for efficient instruction or research
- Accurate measurement of pressure and flow velocity using integrated instrumentation
- Supports hands-on learning in hydraulic engineering and fluid mechanics
