Guía de laboratorio, utilizando elementos básicos de hidráulica, aplicados a un prototipo de canal rectangular, ubicado en la Universidad Politécnica Salesiana, Sede Quito, Campus Sur

Abstract

Students who are interested in a laboratory focused on the Hydraulic area have had to resort to external material, without being able to witness first-hand an adequate laboratory procedure. The laboratory guides were made so that students can quickly access the information and procedure for each case of analysis in the UPS hydraulics laboratory, making use of physical and numerical models of basic hydraulic scenarios. using the rectangular channel located in the Hydraulics laboratory of the Civil Engineering career. It should be noted that the laboratory guides cover theoretical, empirical and practical content. Carrying out the cases of the practice, the student will know basic concepts of hydraulics and will reinforce the techniques of measurement of hydraulic phenomena. The numerical models made in the Flow 3D program will be used to virtually visualize the studied hydraulic phenomena, where it will be possible to observe and improve the understanding of the behavior of the water flow when it is subjected to different cases. The practices presented in the laboratory guides are: volumetric capacity, uniform flow, grid, thin-walled weir, thick-walled weir, rectangular weir with 2 contractions, gate with free discharge, gate with hydraulic jump, USBR profile weir, triangular weir and submerged and free discharge thin-walled orifice.
