Open water flume tanks with closed-loop circulation driven by centrifugal pumps are essential for hydro experimentation in academic settings as well research centers. The device is also attractive due to its versatility and easy-to-maintain characteristics. Nevertheless, commercial open systems can be expensive become less prioritized engineering schools. This paper describes the design fabrica...

Fluid mechanics lies at the heart of many physical processes associated with nascent deep-sea mining industry. The evolution and fate sediment plumes that would be produced by seabed activities, which are central to assessment environmental impact, entirely determined transport processes. These processes, include advection, turbulent mixing, buoyancy, differential particle settling, flocculatio...
