Particle Laden Flows Lab.
Coordinator: Dr. B. Firoozabadi, Tel: (+9821) 66165684
Activities:
a) Density and Turbidity Currents:
1- Flow Structure and Entrainment in 3-D Flows
2- Turbulence Characteristics
3- Physical Understanding of the Density Currents Passing Over Obstacles
b) Settling Tanks
1- Flow Structure
2- Improving the Performance
Lab. Equipments:
1.A Tilting Flume Which Was Divided Into Two Parts; a 3-D Part (1.5 m Width, 0.6m Height and 12 m Length) and a 2-D Part (0.2 m Width, 0.6 m Height and 12 m Length)
2.2 Storage Tanks With 2 and 4 m3 Capacity Upstream and Downstream of The Flume.
3.The Capacity of The Pumps Allows Hydraulic Experiments and Model Tests up to a Discharge of 40 l/min.
4.Flow Velocities Can be Measured by 3D- Acoustic Doppler Velocimetry (ADV).
5.Traverse for ADV Probe Movements (Vertical and Horizontal)
6.A High frame Camera (1000 Frame Per Second)
