Abstract:

Automating hydraulic engineering experiments may allow an increased number of scenarios or repetitions to be studied within a research programme and additionally increase measurement precision by reducing human errors. Several aspects of the Aberdeen Open Channel Facility (AOCF) have already been automated, including flow configuration and control and stereoscopic particle image velocimetry deployment and calibration. We expect these developments to contribute to scientific progress through enabling larger systematic data sets in future studies.
