Instrumentation and software for physical models

Our instrumentation and software is used by hydraulic modellers to makes waves and to gather and analyse results from their physical models. 

We supply: 

• Wave gauge systems to measure wave heights in wave flumes and basins.
• Water level gauges to measure changing water levels in a flume or basin.
• 2D/3D instrument traverser systems to accurately position and instrument within an x-y=z coordinate system on a repeatable basis.
• 2D/3D bed profiler systems to measure the effect of water has on mobile sediment beds.
• Pressure sensors to measure impact on model structures, water depth, water pressure under structures, pressure in pipes or other vessels.
• Ship movement measurement systems to measure the movement of moored model ships.
• Force measurement sensors to model the forces of ship mooring lines and fendors.
• HR Merlin wave generation software to simulate a variety of sea states in basins and flumes.
• Data acquisition and analysis software (HR DAQ) to collect and analyse data from a range of instrumentation.

To complement our range of hydraulic modelling instrumentation, we also provide a range of force measurement instruments for use with towing carriages and multi-motion carriages.
