Open channel, 60m in effective length, of orthogonal cross section, 2.5m in width and 1.5m in length, with a glass wall observation section. Water is pumped in the open channel from an underground reservoir using four pumps, which can deliver a maximum flowrate of 19600m³/hr. An electrically powered measurement carriage, capable of carrying personnel and equipment, moves along the entire length of the channel. At the end of the channel there exists a circular, hydraulically powered sluice gate, beyond which the water drops into the underground reservoir, achieving recirculation. Over the channel, a number of ultrasound sensors for water depth measurements exist, as well as two video cameras. The pumps, the slice gate and the ultrasound water depth measuring devices can be controlled remotely through a computer installed in a separate room in the laboratory. A bridge crane operates over the entire length of the channel.

Open channel, 8m in effective length, of orthogonal cross section 0.30m in width and 0.4m in length. The side walls are transparent. Water is delivered in the channel at a maximum flowrate of 100m³/hr from a metal tank using a pump.

Open channel, 5m in effective length, of orthogonal cross section 0.075m in width and 0.10m in length. The side walls are transparent. Water is delivered in the channel at a maximum flowrate of 100m³/hr from a metal tank using a pump.

Wave basin of surface area 12x7m and water depth of 1m. The basin is equipped with a DHI paddle wavemaker capable of reproducing monochromatic, spectral or waves from given time series.

A system of 400mm-diameter pipes connected to a 7m constant head tower, located outside the laboratory space. Water is pumped in the tower from an underground reservoir using four pumps. The maximum discharge that can be achieved in the closed conduits in the laboratory connected to the tower is 1000m³/hr. The closed conduits are equipped with several outlets, through which water can be supplied to hydraulic models installed (located) on the laboratory’s floor. The flowrate discharge in this system of closed conduits can be monitored using fixed Venturi meters.

A number of hydraulic benches are available on which several model devices can be installed for demonstration experiments.
