Abstract:
The HYDRALAB+ project is aimed at strengthening the coherence of experimental hydraulic and hydrodynamic research undertaken across its partner organisations. This report is D10.2 of the HYDRALAB+ project, entitled “Critical Review”. It is one of the outputs of Work Package 10 – JRA3: Facilitating the Re-use and Exchange of Experimental Data. It examines the state of the art in a number of areas relating to HYDRALAB+ with particular attention given to:
· data standards and protocols currently in use in the HYDRALAB+ community;
· the flow of data between the three communities (laboratory modelling, numerical modelling and field case study); and
· the effectiveness of the mechanisms in use for validation and verification of data.
