Hydraulics Laboratory
Constant Head Tank
With the operation of any combination of one 8", one 10" or one
12" pumps the tank can maintain a constant head up to 4000 GPM out flow.
High Head Tank
Four cubic metre tank located 14m above the laboratory and is supplied by
a 4" pump.
Brine Sump
The facility has two chambers and is fitted with three pumps. The capacity of
the largest pump is 241/sec at head of 2m.
Long Wave Flumes
The long wave flume is one of six flumes within the Hydraulic Laboratory, the
system comprises the flume, wave generator, surface profiling probes and computer
based data acquisition system.
