University of Hull - Stratified Flow Flume

Description

The Energy and Environment Institute (EEI) established in late 2016 at the University of Hull brings together the skills and capabilities of leading researchers to tackle global challenges related to climate change and population growth and their consequences for society and livelihoods. The Institute has three primary goals: to research and discover; to innovate and deliver impact; and to act as a regional anchor. The Energy and Environment Institute has a variety of research clusters, one of which is the Centre of Environmental Fluid Dynamics. As we continue to grow and deliver research that matters, we are investing in our facilities and research capabilities into a new type of experimental facility that is required to study and measure stratified flow dynamics. The facility should be capable of maintaining specified density stratification, and flow velocity profiles within a specified working section to understand the role of inherent density variation in natural and industrial flows.
