About This Product
Placed in the flume, the gate causes backwater, and the discharge in the open channel can be adjusted and controlled by raising or lowering it with the lever. Radial gates are often combined with a fixed control structure such as a broad-crested weir, a pairing typical of barrages. With this EXPERIMENTAL FLUME FLOW CHANNEL APPARATUS accessory, students observe free and submerged discharge, jet contraction and hydraulic jumps.
