Saltwater Flume System

Description
The seawater flume is a recirculating system that mimics rapids to help achieve a laminar flow of up to 0.5m/s (with honeycomb collimators). The seawater has an option of passing through a water filter to remove different contaminates, depending on its micron rating. The flume is also equipped with a flow meter (MiniWater6) and water height sensors (installation required). The toughened glass side walls allow for visualization and data capture.
