DESCRIPTION A fully automated design, the flume uses control systems to regulate flow discharges and velocities, entry conditions based on attributes of the flow (i.e. suspended sediment concentrations or sediment/soil bed, e.g. core surface), and to establish erosion testing routines. Core sample material is electromechanically indexed directly into the water flow, coupled with sensory feedback. The flume is capable of being run either partially full of water, recreating shallow water flow over a surface, to completely full of water for sediment erosion testing or for sediment loads / concentrations. The flume includes all equipment and instrumentation required to generate, monitor and control water flow & suspended sediment concentrations, and for the core test section module, sediment levels in the core tube. The system is designed to be fully transportable for use in different laboratories and has the capability of being trailer-mounted for use in the ffeld. To enable a broad range of experimental options, test sections are interchangeable. Specialised test section modules include: Sediment Core Module (150 x 75mm Section) (supplied as standard) Wide Erosion Studies Module (300 x 100mm Section) + Bridge Insert (option) Narrow Erosion Studies Module (150 x 50mm Section) + Bridge Insert (option) Sediment Core Module (105 x 50mm Section) (option) TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Max Flow Rate: 18l/s Max core length: 450mm Standard core OD/ID: 65/55mm
