Critical Depth Flume (Standing Wave Flume)
A critical depth flume is the one in which either the width is contracted to
such an extent that critical depth occurs at the throat or more common
both a hump/weir in bed & side contractions are provided to attain
critical depth with hydraulic jump occurrence at d/s of throat.
