Book excerpt: A fluvial bed hydraulic flume was designed and constructed for the purpose of modeling drifting snow. The operation of the flume facility was designed to be simple. Three butterfly valves control the operation of the storage tank system, and a variable-speed control on the pump-motor unit permits a wide range of flow velocities for any given depth. The discharge can be monitored continuously from a differential-pressure transducer which is connected to the venturi. Ease of operation allows for a greater flexibility in the design of experiments in the hydraulic flume facility. (Modified author abstract).
