The ‘flume’ or ‘stream table’ can be anything that is slightly resistant and non-permeable (metal, wood, plastic, concrete, …) and come in any preferred size. Consider an area that can deal with some water and dirt as well as having a clear distinction from electrical plugs and connections. Top view example of small experiments that I did during the first year of my research.įor doing these flume experiments one need to consider a suitable and save location. As such small-scale flume experiments are like playing with water and sediment in order to explore or answer something. This can be something very common like a sink, a bathtub or some kind of wooden or plastic box and can become as complex or specified as one would aim for. Such, I describe a flume as a structure that allows flow, most commonly water (and sediment) to flow through. The English word flume presumably can be correlated with the Latin verb fluere (to flow) and in particular the Latin noun Flumen translated to river or stream. To clarify this, a definition of a flume can be quite broad. Some confusion may arise to what I mean with a flume. So what are the kind of small scale experiments I will write about? These are flume or stream table experiments. It would be good to explain what benefits these experiments have and why it is relative easy to set-up this type of experiments in contrast to larger scale experiments. ![]() As there is plenty to write about, I want to start with how to set-up some small scale experiments, something I enjoyed doing in my first year. ![]() With just over a year of my PhD behind me, it is a good moment to write about things I learned or encountered within this PhD.
