The teaching canal is a variable-slope methacrylate canal, made up of one-meter-long modules, reaching a total length of four meters.
It is used to support the theoretical classes taught at the CENTER, allowing students to study, analyze, and verify the fundamental aspects involved in any open-channel water transfer. Its variable slope and transparent construction allow for complete observation of the phenomena being tested.
It is a completely independent test bench, fed by its own reservoir and a set of two pumping units, one with a fixed speed and the other with a variable speed. It has a cross-section of 0.20 m wide by 0.4 m high along its entire length
It includes a series of accessories for carrying out various open-channel water transport experiments, such as studying flow through open channels by measuring variables like water depth and velocity at different points in the cross-section, as well as studying and using different weirs, gates, hydraulic jumps, flow over spillways, etc.
