TILTING
FLUME AT
HYDRAULICS LABORATORY OF INDIAN INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE
The tilting flume, described herein, is first of its kind in Asia Pacific region. It can be used to carry out advanced level experimental research in several areas of Hydraulics and Fluid mechanics, Modeling of Hydraulic Structures, Sediment-transport/River Mechanics, Ocean Engineering and Offshore Structures as well as in Environmental Hydraulics and Flow Measurements etc. It has a special feature of applying controlled amounts of seepage flow perpendicular to the sediment bed either in upward or downward directions. This facility can be used effectively to study the seepage flow phenomenon on hydrodynamic characteristics of sediment bed as well as the contaminant transport through soil structure. Also, it can be used for several R&D programs, teaching & training purposes to students, faculty, field engineers and researchers at various levels dealing with water and related subjects.
