Study of fluid behavior, flow systems, and hydraulic machinery for civil and mechanical engineering applications
The Hydraulics Laboratory is a specialized facility for studying the behavior of fluids in motion and at rest. It supports both teaching and research in fluid mechanics, hydraulic engineering, and water resources systems.
The lab provides hands-on experience with flow measurement, hydraulic machines, and open channel flow systems.
Study of friction losses, bends, valves, and pipe networks.
Bernoulli’s theorem, momentum equation, and energy concepts.
Performance of pumps and turbines under different conditions.
Flow behavior in flumes, spillways, and hydraulic jumps.
Measurement of discharge using differential pressure methods.
Variable area flow measurement technique.
Determination of flow rate in open channels.
Centrifugal and reciprocating pump performance analysis.
Study of Pelton, Francis, and Kaplan turbine efficiency.
Basic closed-loop water supply system for experiments.
Visualization of laminar and turbulent flow patterns.
Study of energy dissipation in open channel flow.
Measurement of force exerted by fluid jets on surfaces.
