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.
