Laboratory Föppl-Bau
This laboratory for water engineering allows numerous tests in order to explore fluid flow and sedimentation. Furthermore basic investigations and research are taking place.
Technic / Equipment
Flow measuring with radar
Non-contact measurement of flow velocities and fill levels in pipelines and ducts
Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV)
Non-contact method for the determination of velocity fields in the flow mechanics for the detection of small flow processes
Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter (ADV)
Stationary 3D flow velocity measurement in surface waters or in the laboratory using ultrasound based on the Doppler effect
tilting troughs
Two 12 m tilting troughs for flow tests and instrument calibration with laser vector field measurement (PIV)
pump system
pump system (120 m³ / h) with high tank for constant hydrostatic water pressure
hydrological pilot plant
for runoff simulation of surface and groundwater flow
slit trench
- 2-dimensional flow analysis
- hydraulic shear failure
- flow through dikes
