expert reports in the field of hydromechanics and hydraulic engineering
In the Hubert-Engels-Laboratory, which was founded
in 1898 as first permanent hydraulic laboratory possible, to carry out
hydraulic experiments for various tasks in the field of hydraulic engineering.
Among them pressure-, velocity-, turbulence- and flow-measurements, in
models of hydraulic structures, coastal and port structures water treatment
or fluid flow through industrial plants.
