Fundamentals Of Sediment Transport

Variable-speed paddle to generate the flow velocity
Experimental section with transparent deepening for holding the sediment
Three different bridge piers for observing fluvial obstacle marks on piers
Experimental unit for bed-load transport in open channels
Transparent, circular, oval flow channel as open channel
Low-turbulence flow at the inlet to the experimental section thanks to a flow straightener
Paddle driven via electric motor and belt drive.
