Advanced Hydrology Study System
1. A self contained floor standing apparatus for hydrology and fluvial geomorphology demonstrations, comprising:
• A 2m x 1m stainless steel tank, tiltable using a dual linked jacking system
• 8 stainless steel spray nozzles mounted on an adjustable height gantry
• A stilled tank providing a formed flow river inlet
• Two flowmeters (3L/min & 5L/min) to measure and adjust the inlet flows
• An outlet tank allowing both water and sediment flow to be measured
• Two French drains, two well points and 20 manometer tapping points linked to a manometer bank
• A large plastic sump tank plus a recirculating pump
2. Experimental capabilities include:
• Run-off hydrographs from model catchments
• Draw-down curves for one well and two well systems
• Ground water flow and hydraulic gradients
• Model stream flow in alluvial material
• Formation and development of river features over time
• Sediment transport, bedload motion, scour and erosion
3. A version is available with instrumentation to measure both water and sediment run-off in real time. The package included data logging and educational software, (requires a customer provided PC).
The unit comprises a sand tank, made of
stainless steel, measuring 2 metres by 1 metre. Water may be input to
the sand tank from spray nozzles located above the tank (simulating
rainfall), from an inlet tank simulating a river flow or from two french
drains buried in the sand at either end of the tank. The water is
output either from an outlet tank and flow measurement system located at
the end of the main sand tank, from one or both of the two wells
located in the tank, or one or both of the French drains.
A large plastic sump tank is located under the sand tank.
