AI Technical Summary
Traditional wave and water flow test flumes have errors when adjusting the water depth and water flow velocity, which makes it difficult to meet the water depth and flow velocity conditions, and there is a deviation between the wave simulation and the required waves, resulting in a low degree of automation and low efficiency.
A lifting platform is set up in the test water tank, and a monitoring mechanism is used to monitor the water depth and water flow velocity in real time. The control system is linked with the water pump and wave maker to achieve automatic adjustment of the water depth and water flow velocity. Combined with the two corrections of wave parameters and the breakup judgment, the accuracy of water depth, flow velocity and wave parameters is ensured.
It improves the controllability and accuracy of the test, reduces the error of test data, improves the test efficiency, solves the problems of water level error and wave deviation in traditional water tanks, and realizes the automatic calibration of water depth-water flow-wave.
