 Notes: The water level increased constantly. After this experiment, we had to adjust the sink to let out more water. It takes some time, so we had to wait until the water level was good again.

 We wanted to keep the same setup and to increase the flow rate to 80L/min in order to have consistency but unfortunately we were running out of time.

 The whole day was used to build the extension of the topography to move the source 2m further back. The source sits now at the same position relative to the topography, only 2m further back. The cameras stayed at the same positions. We used this day to process data and to learn more about UVMAT.

-Today, first the source had to be attached and the water filled up. Then the particles had to be spread out in the water again. So the experiment didn't start before 11:30. [[BR]]At least, the source was now moved 2m further back and the foam of the source was improved to avoid bubbles leaving the source, which also worked with this flow rate.

-Because the source was mainly too close for the high flow rates, we will only do experiments with flow rates higher than 50 and with a rotation rate of 50. We started with Q = 50l/min and no corner.

 Observations: The flow was much more established, when it reached the view of PCO1. Regular waves occurred along the slope until it reached the first corner. Almost the whole current turned south into the trough.
 
-Notes: The images for HS were accidently only taken for 7min, but restarted again for 7 min (EXP18_B).

-== Experiment EXP19 ==
-We used the same setup at EXP18, just with a flow rate of Q=80l/min. Note that we still used the diaphragme of the original diameter-flow rate curve, which gives an actual flow rate of >90 l/min. We do that to be consistent.

+=== Experiment EXP19 ===
+We used the same setup at EXP18, just with a flow rate of Q=80l/min. Note that we still used the diaphragme of the original diameter-flow rate curve, which gives an actual flow rate of >90 l/min. We do that to be consistent with previous experiments.
+
+From the PIV of previous experiments with a flow rate of 80, we have decided to decrease the dt from 100 to 50ms and also the exposure time from 30 to 20ms, because the correlations were not very high. However, the dt = 50 ms did not work during this experiment, so that in fact it was dt = 100ms, because only every second image was taken.
+
+During this experiment, the honeycomb fell out of the source after the HS. We did therefore no vertical scan. 
+
+Note: This experiment had too many errors that we had to redo it!
+
+=== Experiment EXP20 ===
+We redid experiment 19 and this time everything worked. dt is now 50ms and the exposure time 20ms. We had no corner. The measured flow rate was 93.5 l/min.
+
+Observations: Most of the current is entering the trough and a small part passes the trough, following the slope.
+
+=== Experiment EXP21 ===
+For this experiment, we wanted to increase the flow rate to Q = 110 l/min, with a diaphragme of 17 mm. The measured flow rate was 120 l/min. The experiment was again without corner and dt = 50 ms, E = 20 ms. 
+
+Observation: The whole current went into the trough.
+
+=== Experiment EXP22 ===
+This experiment had the same setup as EXP21 but with the corner. The measured flow rate this time was only 100 l/min. 
+
+Note: The flow rate is difficult to measure for high values, as the time interval is shorter and therefore produces a larger error. However, in the end we can plot a diameter - flow rate curve fitted with all the values from our experiment. The diaphragme should determine the flow rate quite clearly and with the fitted curve, we can get the actual flow rate.
+
+Observations: Most of the current went into the trough, only a small part passed by. There were many particles in the beginning of the experiment.
+
+== 7.10 Wednesday 20 September ==
+=== Experiment EXP23 ===
+After swirling up the particles in the tank, we started early at 08:13 with the first experiment. It is the same experiment as EXP22 with a flow rate of Q=80l/min. The calculated flow rate is 94 l/min, which is very close to the previous flow rate (100l/min). 
+
+Observation: The flow was similar to the previous experiment, with the main current entering the trough. A large rotation occurred on the shelf.
