Environmental Engineering and Environmental Fluid Mechanics Laboratories
The Environmental Fluid Mechanics Laboratory includes a 60-foot wave tank, a 60-foot sediment-water tilting flume, a rotating laboratory for geophysical flow problems, and a water tunnel with a 5-foot test section. Instrumentation includes a laser-Doppler velocimeter.
The environmental engineering laboratories are well-equipped and include nearly 5,000 square feet of graduate research space. As well as having the capacity to perform water quality analyses, the laboratories contain the following instruments: total organic carbon analyzer, total organic halogen analyzer, four gas chromatographs with multiple detectors, purge and trap unit, high performance liquid chromatograph, ozonator, automated titrator, atomic absorption spectrophotometer with graphite furnace, uv-vis scanning spectrophotometer, diodearray spectrophotometer, respirometer, fluorometers, particle size analyzer, anaerobic incubator, environmentally controlled fermentor, two diurnal growth chambers, and two temperature controlled chambers totaling 1,500 cubic feet capacity.
