About the hydraulics laboratory:
The Hydraulics Laboratory is a state-of-the-art facility used to conduct a variety of water-related experiments. Therefore, the Hydraulics Laboratory at the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Hail was designed to visually illustrate the various phenomena and
characteristics associated with water flow through a closed channel, open channel flow and under a sluice gate.
And the formation of a hydraulic jump, generation of venetian flow by sedimentation monitoring. Rainfall flow rate, outlet flow rate by simulating various intensity rainfall events, and leakage analysis under sheet pile wall by visualizing the flow line in order to reduce leakage
from channels, rivers and soil
sub-surrounding the excavation, to gain some knowledge on how to evaluate the variation in intensity and uniformity of simulated rainfall and to make the students able to determine the relationship between upstream head and flow rate of water flow over the weir types or
discharge below the weir gate as well as observe the flow patterns obtained.
List of experiments:
1. Simulated calculations of rainfall intensity and uniformity variations with increasing disk aperture
2. Overland flow generation
3. Introduction to flow through closed channels
4. Introduction to open channel flow by configuring a hydraulic flow simulator
5. Introduction to the flow under the sluice gate and the formation of a hydraulic jump
6. Flow over the broad crested dyke
7. Discharging under the sluice gate
8. Leakage under the wall of a stack of boards
