Overview of the NRC — High-discharge Flume - Research Facility program

Fee-for-service 10 m × 2.7 m × 1.4 m high-discharge flume to simulate a wide range of open channel flows and study problems in rivers, canals and other inland waterways.

Eligible projects & activities

This facility primarily supports research projects exploring the interaction between high discharge flows and various structures. Eligible projects include those focusing on simulating and analyzing hydrodynamic effects in marine and inland waterway environments.
  • Simulation of open channel flows and their effects on coastal and offshore structures.
  • Modeling and testing the dynamic effects of dam breaks or tsunami waves.
  • Assessment of infrastructure project designs for performance in extreme conditions.
  • Development of optimizations to improve infrastructure performance.
  • Research on the behaviour and performance of structures in complex hydrodynamic environments.
Examples of admissible projects:

$ 45,000

Study of high-speed flows around wind turbine bases to increase efficiency

$ 45,000

Simulation of urban flood events to enhance city planning and resilience

$ 40,000

Testing the interaction of currents with large-scale fish farm cages

$ 45,000

Modeling coastal erosion processes to develop preventive measures

$ 45,000

Investigating sediment transport in large rivers under varying flow conditions

$ 45,000

Analyzing the impact of ice jams in northern river systems
