A flume containing a constriction which, in sub-critical flow, causes an increase in velocity and consequent fall in water level and in which a measurement of the two water levels, upstream and at the contraction, allows a calculation of the discharge. 2, record 1, English, - venturi%20flume
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The essential difference between Venturi flume and standing wave flume is that observation of both upstream and downstream water levels are necessary with the former, whereas with the latter, the upstream water level observation is by itself enough to determine the discharge. 3, record 1, English, - venturi%20flume

The turbulence created by a weir or a venturi channel is sometimes used alone to promote a good diffusion of the reagents. A considerable improvement is nevertheless ensured by the use of a high-speed stirring device of the screw-type or paddle-type (turbine) or a double-cone device in a special mixing chamber. 1, record 2, English, - venturi%20channel

On utilise parfois pour le mélange des réactifs la seule turbulence créée par un déversoir, ou un canal venturi. Mais les résultats sont très nettement améliorés par l'emploi d'un agitateur rapide du type à hélice ou à pales (turbine) ou d'un bicône dans une chambre de mélange spéciale. 1, record 2, French, - canal%20venturi
