About hydraulics facilities
Our hydraulics facilities help researchers study how water flows and behaves. Designed to support both education and innovation, these state-of-the-art resources are used by researchers, students, and industry partners to explore real-world challenges in water systems and infrastructure.
We offer a range of specialised equipment, including:
- 3 indoor flumes
- an outdoor flume with 3 configurable cross sections
- a wave tank for coastal and wave dynamics studies
Our facilities are located across Chilworth Science Park and the Boldrewood Innovation Campus, with the Chilworth flume hall featuring LaserMet systems for Class 4 Laser experimentation.
We use hands-on experiments and computer models to help build stronger infrastructure, create cleaner energy, and protect the environment.
These facilities support education and research. We welcome enquiries from industry.
