Open Channel Flow Lab
The open channel flow laboratory is a specialized facility in civil engineering education focused on studying the behavior of water and other fluids in channels without full enclosure, such as rivers, canals, and spillways. It provides practical insights into fluid flow dynamics critical for water resources and hydraulic engineering.
Key Features of an Open Channel Flow Laboratory
Understanding uniform and non-uniform flow:
• Measuring velocity distribution, flow rates, and energy losses.
• Observing critical, subcritical, and supercritical flows.
• Relevance to Civil Engineering:
Hydraulic Structures: Designing efficient canals, culverts, and spillways.
Flood Management: Analyzing flow behavior for flood risk assessment.
Irrigation Engineering: Improving channel designs for optimal water distribution.
Learning Outcomes:
• Validate theoretical principles such as Manning’s equation and specific energy concepts.
• Gain skills in flow visualization and measurements.
• Understand environmental impacts and flow-related challenges.
Performed Tests:
1. Experiment on Broad-crested weir
2. Experiment on Sluice gate
3. Experiment on Venture flume
4. Experiment on Parshall flume
5. Experiment on Cut-throat flume
6. Experiment on Hydraulic jump
7. Experiment on Velocity distribution profile
8. Experiment on Manning’s roughness coefficient
9. Experiment on Specific energy and Specific force
