Visualisation of seepage flows Deluxe

A descriptive method in the study of seepage and groundwater flow is the visualisation of the streamlines and their graphical representation as a flow net. The flow net provides information about the seepage of water in dams and sheet piles.

• visualisation of two-dimensional seepage flows and investigation of water pressure at various models
• closed water circuit
• fluoresceine as a contrast medium
• experimental section with tempered glass viewing window
• fine-mesh screen to separate the experimental section from the feed and discharge chamber
• height-adjustable overflows in the feed and discharge to adjust the water levels
• 14 measuring connections with filters to detect the groundwater levels
• “sheet pile” model for visualisation of streamlines
• “retaining wall” and “foundation” models for demonstration of the water pressure
• instruments: tube manometers
