, variable flow velocities. With that goal in mind, the next step was todefine the requirements that would define a successful water flume design. The followingobjectives were identified at the outset of the project: A. The construction costs should be less than $3500. B. The construction can be carried out by undergraduate. C. The water flume will provide “low velocity” flow-rates up to 2 ft/s in the test section to replicate tidal and river flows. D. The water flume will fit in a laboratory with limited space. For this particular laboratory, this meant a maximum 7’ x7’ footprint and having the ability to relocate the experiment easily.The basic layout of the resulting design is shown in Figure 2.
