CHL Precision Flow Table - Description and Applications

Abstract

The Coastal and Hydraulics Engineering Technical Note (CHETN) described herein provides information about the new precision flow table experiment facility located at the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center, Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory (CHL). The precision flow table can examine complex steady flow problems rapidly and at low cost. This capability is useful for understanding complicated flow problems and deciding on whether to pursue more elaborate modeling technologies. A description of the flow table capabilities is given along with an example application related to flow at a tidal estuary.
