Construction

Regular Flume

	Length	Width	Height	Swim Area
Flume Dimensions (m)	14.4	3.9	4.0	6.0 X 2.5

Technical Specifications of StreamliNZ Flume
The StreamliNZ flume with a swim channel 6m long, 2.5m wide and 1.5m water depth fitted with 2 x 110 kW motors is expected to perform to the following proposed specifications in the the flow channel:

Flume Speed Controlled from 0.3 to 2.5 m/s Optimal water flow quality operating speed 1.8m/s Flow uniformity Velocity accuracy < 0.5% nominal velocity across the section < 1% nominal velocity along the centre line Turbulence 1% Wave height < 25mm at 2.00m/s

Pitch of the water surface -20mm over 6m at 1.00m/s -15mm over 6m at 1.50m/s +10mm over 6m at 2.00m/s Effective channel width not influenced by the edge effects 2.3m at 2.00m/s (Angle between axial flow and the vortex line estimated at < 1 degree)) Pump efficiency 70% at 3.0m/s

Large Flume

	Length	Width	Height	Swim Area
Flume Dimensions (m)	23.5	4.7	4.0	10.0 X 2.5

Technical Specifications of StreamliNZ Flume
The StreamliNZ flume with a swim channel 10m long, 2.5m wide and 1.5m water depth fitted with 3 x 110 kW motors is expected to perform to the following proposed specifications in the calibrated test section (the last 6 metres of the flow channel):

Flume Speed Controlled from 0.3 to 3.2 m/s Optimal water flow quality operating speed 1.8m/s Flow uniformity Velocity accuracy < 0.5% nominal velocity across the section < 1% nominal velocity along the centre line Turbulence 1% Wave height < 25mm at 2.00m/s

Pitch of the water surface -20mm over 10m at 1.00m/s -15mm over 10m at 1.50m/s +10mm over 10m at 2.00m/s Effective channel width not influenced by the edge effects 2.3m at 2.00m/s (Angle between axial flow and the vortex line estimated at <1 degree)) Pump efficiency 70% at 3.0m/s
