Impact/Purpose:
The flow testbed, designed and constructed in partial fulfillment of the Water Technology Innovation Cluster, provides advanced hydrologic research capabilities. The system is presented as a method to evaluate flow measurement methods in flumes and pipes. This is an introduction of our state of the art system to a wider audience.
Description:
A novel flow testbed has been designed to evaluate the performance of flumes as flow measurement devices. The newly constructed testbed produces both steady and unsteady flows ranging from 10 to 1500 gpm. Two types of flumes (Parshall and trapezoidal) are evaluated under different flow rates to provide a comparison of flow measurement results to those produced by the well calibrated magmeters that are a major component of the SWIM testbed.
