Faciliteit
Kraijenhoff van de Leur Laboratorium voor Water- en Sedimentdynamica
Het experimentele onderzoek van het Laboratorium voor Water- en Sedimentdynamica richt zich voornamelijk op morfologische reacties op kanaal- en landstromingen. Ons huidige onderzoek gaat over beekherstel, geulerosie en plastic verplaatsing.
Faciliteiten
Straight flume
The straight flume has an effective length of 13.6 m and an internal width of 2.6 m. The flume features a sediment catch, which can be connected to the sediment pump for recirculation of sediment.
Tilting flume
The tilting flume is a 1.2 m wide tilting flume, with an effective length of 14.4 m. The flume has sediment catch at the downstream end, and a sediment pump for recirculation of bed material.
Rainfall simulator
To test the impact of a raindrop on a soil surface and test the vulnerability of a soil type to overland flow and erosion, a rainfall simulator has been installed.
