- Flume - Wikipedia
Flumes route water from a diversion dam or weir to a desired materiel collection location Flumes are usually made up of wood, metal or concrete Many flumes took [when?] the form of wooden troughs elevated on trestles, often following the natural contours of the land
- What Are Flumes and How Do They Work in Irrigation
In this article, we will explore what flumes are, their types, how they operate, and their importance in modern irrigation systems A flume is a specially designed channel or structure that directs and measures the flow of water in an open channel system
- Fiberglass Flumes | Open Channel Flumes - Tracom
Flumes are specially shaped, engineered, and static piece of equipment that restrict flow causing an acceleration This restriction of flow creates a relationship between the fluid level in the flume and the rate of flow allowing for easy sight measurement
- What Is A Flume? - WorldAtlas
A flume is a water channel built as a means of transport but defers from a trench because its walls are elevated above the surrounding ground Flumes use gravity and the terrain to dictate the direction in which water flows “Flume” is derived from the Latin word “flumen” that means “river ”
- 8. 6: Flumes - Geosciences LibreTexts
Flumes, carrying unidirectional gravity-driven free-surface flow, are distinct from closed ducts and conduits, also widely used for hydraulic studies, which have pressure-gradient-driven flow without a free surface
- What are the Different Types of Flumes? - Baltimore Post-Examiner
Flumes are narrow, man-made channels used for measuring water and transporting big objects such as timber One of the oldest forms of water-based technology, flumes are still used frequently
- Measuring Open Channel Flow Rates with a weir or a flume
Open channel flow rate measurement is usually done by measuring a change in water depth It can be done with a weir or flume Common types are the sharp crested weir (including V-notch weir, rectangular weir, and cipolletti weir), the broad crested weir, the Parshall flume and venturi flume
- Flume - (Intro to Civil Engineering) - Fiveable
A flume is a man-made channel or conduit designed to transport water, often used in hydraulic engineering and fluid dynamics Flumes are essential for managing water flow, measuring discharge, and directing water for various uses such as irrigation or hydroelectric power generation
