Virtual Laboratories CE-311 Open Channel Flow
Interactive re-creations of the laboratory experiments — set the apparatus, run the flume, take readings and compute results, following the lab-manual procedure.
EXPERIMENT 1
🌊 Formation of a Hydraulic Jump
Virtual flume: set discharge & sluice gate, position a stable jump with the tailgate, then record observations and compute Froude number, sequent depths, energy loss and jump type.
EXPERIMENT 2
🔧 Energy Losses in Pipes
Virtual pipe-friction rig: run low-flow (manometers) and high-flow (pressure gauge) parts, measure discharge by timed collection, and plot the Darcy–Weisbach friction factor against Re on the log–log chart.
EXPERIMENT 3
📐 Flow Meter Characteristics
Venturi, orifice plate and rotameter in series on a nine-tube manometer bank: compare each meter against timed volumetric collection and measure the energy loss of every device, the diffuser and the 90° bend.
EXPERIMENT 4
✁ Flow over a Rectangular Notch
Sharp-crested weir calibration: set the point-gauge datum, step the head, observe the nappe (clinging / depressed / springing clear) and fit Cd from the Q–Hn plot for rectangular and 90° V-notches.
EXPERIMENT 5
⚙️ Pelton Wheel Turbine
Impulse-turbine characteristics: load the runner with the band brake from runaway to stall, log speed, spring forces, flow and inlet head, and map torque, brake power and efficiency against the ideal curves at two spear-valve openings.
EXPERIMENT 6
🌊 Discharge by Velocity-Area Method
Stream gauging in the flume: traverse a pitot-static tube up three mid-verticals reading 30°-inclined manometers, integrate the velocity profiles into a discharge, and verify the 0.6-depth and 0.2/0.8-depth rules.
EXPERIMENT 7
📈 Validity of Bernoulli's Theorem
Tapered venturi duct with six manometers and a traversing total-head probe: watch pressure trade for velocity, compare calculated vs measured total head, and locate the energy loss in the diffuser.
EXPERIMENT 8
💧 Impact of a Jet
Momentum-equation verification: balance a vertical jet against pan weights on flat, 120° and hemispherical deflectors, and fit the W–v² slopes against ρA(1−cosθ) in the 1 : 1.5 : 2 ratio.
EXPERIMENT 9
🎯 Flow through a Circular Orifice
Constant-head tank with a sharp-edged 12 mm orifice: trace the jet parabola with a hook gauge for Cv, time the discharge for Cd, and split out the vena-contracta coefficient Cc = Cd/Cv.
EXPERIMENT 10
🏄 Standing Wave Flume Calibration
Critical flow at a venturi-flume throat gives a one-gauge discharge relation Q = Cf·1.705·B·H3/2: measure head and discharge, watch the standing wave, and calibrate the flume graphically and by calculation.
EXPERIMENT 11
🔨 Minor Losses in Bends & Fittings
Mitre, elbow, short and long bends, enlargement, contraction and a gate valve on manometer pairs: apply the kinetic correction where the bore changes and extract each fitting's loss coefficient K.
The manual's V-notch experiment is included in Experiment 4 (switch the notch selector to V-notch 90°).
