The Fluid Mechanics Laboratory houses excellent research facilities, including a range of large open channel flumes, a wave flume, an oscillatory flow tunnel and various porous media and gravity current facilities. The Group’s structural research is supported with a number of facilities for large-scale testing of structural assemblies which are spread out across the School’s Structures Laboratory, the Cement and Concrete Laboratory, the Materials Laboratory and the Dynamics and Control Laboratory. A dedicated team of experienced technicians in these labs and the Engineering Workshop provide all necessary support. Facilities
