General Description

The River Flow Simulator, "RFS", designed by EDIBON, allows the simulation and study of the river features, included the flow and solid bed load motion.

The main element is a rectangular tank made of stainless steel supported on a metal beam frame, which enables the slope of the tank to be adjusted, even when it is full of sand and water.

Water flows and it is discharged from the rectangular tank into a storage tank through an adjustable height pipe, allowing the variation of the outlet conditions. An adjustable speed pump impels the water from there to an inlet vessel, measuring the flow rate with a flow meter. The inlet vessel can be located in any part of the main tank to enable water to be introduced and has a stilling system to make water flow slowly towards the main tank.

In the main tank, full of sand, is where the meanders, riffles, sediments, etc. are formed, so they can be studied and their surface profile analyzed with a depth gauge and a crossbeam.
