ESTEX Facility
Vicksburg, MS
ESTEX has three main components: a 60 ft by 60 ft by 10 ft deep water research facility (DWRF) directly connected to a 420 ft by 60 ft by 4 ft deep research basin (REBA), and a parallel 10 ft wide, 480 ft long flume with depths of 4 ft and 10 ft. A removable partition wall permits formation of an inset flume of any width up to 60 ft and a variable cross-section. It is capable of time-varying unidirectional or reversing flows. Tides and/or currents can be generated separately in the flume as well as in the basin. Pumps installed on two large, fully covered sumps with recirculating arrangement generate flow and tides.
