The GUNT Transient Drainage Processes Trainer demonstrates important phenomena related to the drainage of storage reservoirs, such as rainwater retention basins and storage lakes. It enables the study of delayed drainage effects and surge chamber behavior, which are critical for reservoir design and flood control.
Product Features
- Transient drainage processes considered in designing storage reservoir dimensions, applicable to rainwater retention basins and storage lakes
- Rainwater retention basins delay drainage by temporary intermediate storage
- Storage lakes used for water supply, energy conversion, and flood protection; water rises before flowing over an overflow
- Drainage from reservoirs realized by pipelines, tunnels, or similar conduits
- Surge chamber installed to prevent water hammer in pipes and fittings during rapid flow changes
- Includes basin with adjustable weir and a second deeper basin with overflow and drainage line
- Surge chamber integrated into drainage line for demonstration
- “Rainwater retention basin” experiment simulates retention basins A and B; discharge adjusted by valves illustrating delayed drainage
- “Storage lakes” experiment demonstrates transient drainage in two long-term reservoirs using a free overfall weir
- “Surge chamber” experiment produces water hammer by rapid gate closure; visible as pendulum oscillation of water level
- Water levels detected by pressure sensors in basins and surge chamber
- Data displayed and analyzed via GUNT software
Benefits
- Provides hands-on understanding of reservoir drainage dynamics and surge effects
- Supports study of delayed runoff and water hammer phenomena in practical scenarios
- Enables visualization and analysis of complex transient flow behaviors
- Ideal for civil engineering, hydrology, and environmental science education
