A titling open channel flume for hydraulics experiments

要求提供资金，在阿尔伯塔大学设计和建造一个倾斜明渠水槽，用于水力研究。拟建水槽长25米，宽1.2米，深0.8米。它可以倾斜以模拟河流和明渠中的水流，并具有玻璃侧壁和玻璃底部，以允许从任何方向进行流动可视化和光学测量。拟议的水槽是取代和现代化的一个关键水槽，已使用了30多年。它将成为我们世界知名的Blench水力学实验室的中心研究设施，并将支持水资源集团五名研究人员的研究计划。此外，它将允许这些研究人员进一步与阿尔伯塔环境，埃德蒙顿市和渔业和海洋部的研究合作。它将为研究生提供解决重要问题的绝佳机会，例如河流中的污水混合，通过注氧改善河流水质，管理冰封河流并优化水电公司的运营，通过低流量研究进行水资源管理，以及改善鱼类栖息地。

Funds are requested to design and construct a tilting open channel flume for hydraulic research at the University of Alberta. The proposed flume will have a length of 25 m, a width of 1.2 m and a depth of 0.8 m. It can be tilted to simulate the flow in rivers and open channels, and will have glass sidewalls and a glass bottom to allow flow visualization and optical measurements from any direction. The proposed flume is to replace and modernize a key flume that has been used for over 30 years. It will be a central research facility in our world-renowned Blench Hydraulics Lab, and will support research programs of five researchers in the Water Resources group. In addition, it will allow these researchers to further their research collaborations with Alberta Environment, the City of Edmonton, and Department of Fisheries and Oceans. It will provide graduate students with excellent opportunities to work on problems of importance, such as effluent mixing in rivers, river water quality improvement through oxygen injection, managing ice-covered rivers and optimizing operations with hydropower companies, and water resources management through low flow studies, and fish habitat improvement.
