UWyo Sedimentation Dynamics Lab
Lab
Recirculating wave-current flume
We are currently in the process of designing a new flume capable of both recirculating currents and waves, as well as combined-flow experiments.
The flume, as currently designed, will be approximately 56 feet long, 5 feet wide, and include an automated 20' long carriage system with 3D laser bed scanning and ultrasonic water surface elevation measurement capabilities.
Sediment sampling and field hydrodynamics equipment
The lab currently houses a range of field sediment sampling and hydrodynamic measurement equipment that can be made available for student use or outside contract. The lab is still starting up and this list will update periodically as new equipment is acquired.
Sediment sampling:
- USGS FISP P-61 point integrated sediment sampler, B-Reels, davits
- USGS FISP BLH-84 handheld bedload sampler with 3.5m wading rod
- USGS FISP BMH-60 handheld bed material sampler
- 3x USGS FISP DH-48 handheld depth integrated sediment samplers with up to 3m wading rods
- USGS FISP DH-81 handheld depth integrated sediment sampler with up to 3m wading rods
Misc Field Equipment:
- Several laboratory/field cameras (GoPro hero5 & session, Sony RX100, Sony RX100 V, Canon SX280HS)
- DJI Mavic Air drone
