| description | Due to the increasing demand for water resources worldwide, this commodity
and its spatial and temporal properties are of the interest for decision makers
and scientists. On the other hand, the accuracy in detecting the physical
characteristics of the water flow such as velocity is among the most important
aspects of the hydraulic studies. The pitot tube, which is not widely used in the
open channel hydraulic practices, is one of the equipment used for
determination of the flow velocity. In this study, we have addressed the design,
fabrication, and laboratory experiments related to a pitot tube to investigate its
applicability for open channel experiments. A 3D-printed pitot-tube is
designed and used in a set of experiments carried out in an open channel, with
different flow rates (three experiments). As a result, the relative error rates
were interpreted by comparing the velocity rates obtained with the help of the
water level difference in the differential manometer (Vm) and the velocity rates
obtained from the flow continuity equation in the open channel (Vo). Results
indicated a 50% bias, while the scatter analysis showed that the associated
deviations match a linear equation and once used in the interpretation of the
results, the linear transformation reveals a 3% bias in the experiments. |
