Flood research – S100 tilting Research Flume Newcastle University
Armfield Ltd’s 12.5m free discharge S100 tilting Research Flume installed at University of Newcastle Fluid Science Department. The system is capable of controlled water flow up to 400l/s at water depths up to 0.8m deep.
Our engineers have designed a flume to carry out flood event studies, leaky barriers, dams giving away, effect on structures and more. This flume furthers our involvement in creating equipment for erosion studies, please contact us for more information or talk to us about your requirements. www.armfield.co.uk
To maximise available tilt (to 5%) the flume was designed to sit within the existing sump tanks, unique features included a bespoke flood dam system enabling research into flood events and a sediment recirculation system capable of handling solids up to 10mm. Water depth is controlled using Armfield’s unique venetian blind weir all fully automated through the integrated touchscreen control panel.
This project adds to a suite of flumes in the Novak lab which comprises of two S3 flumes dating back to the 1960’s and one 1970’s S6 unit, all of which are still in constant use.

The Armfield C6-MKII-10 Fluid Friction Measurements unit
Provides facilities for the detailed study of fluid friction head losses, which occur when an incompressible fluid flows through pipes, fittings and flow metering devices.
A wide range of measurements, demonstrations and training exercises are possible with the equipment:
· Confirming the relationship between head loss due to fluid friction and velocity for flow of water
· Determining the head loss associated with flow through a variety of standard pipe fittings
· Determining the relationship between pipe friction coefficients and Reynolds’ number for flow through a pipe with roughened bore
· Demonstrating the application of differential head devices in the measurement of flow rate and velocity
· Providing practical training of pressure measurement techniques
· Enhancing understanding of the hydraulic principles involved through the use of complementary computer software

GESS Dubai 2021
Middle East and North Africa’s (MENA) energy diversification into the renewable energy has spiked in the early half of 2021, focusing on fuel cell and renewable energy in aid to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Armfield Ltd, leader in Engineering Teaching Equipment from the UK who will be attending GESS Exhibition (stand R20), will be showcasing methods for students and adults to develop in the field of new energy technology, making a significant contribution to the “green” energy revolution within the education system.
In addition to this, with the increase of coronavirus that led the world to a pandemic, many students, teachers, and staff resorted to remote learning, which has been of paramount importance. With education at forefront, Armfield Ltd is demonstrating remote learning to increase student engagement with online classrooms and home learning in the engineering sector at the GESS exhibition hall.
