Learning objectives/experiments

Transient flow conditions in pipe systems by means of experimentation

• demonstrating water hammer in pipes
• determining the wave propagation velocity in water
• understanding how a surge chamber works
• natural frequency in the surge chamber

Learning objectives/experiments

• demonstrating transient drainage processes in two rainwater retention basins located one behind the other
• demonstrating transient drainage processes in two storage lakes located one behind the other
• recording oscillations of the water level in a surge chamber after water hammer
• recording and displaying water level fluctuations
