The activities of LAHET are in the fields of science, development and applied research in following areas: mechanical and flow resonance issues, flow interactional problems, acoustic problems, developing and designing of wind technologies, hydraulic technologies and alternative energy technologies, all in accordance with the principles of an open thermodynamic approach.

Experimental model (physical models) tests on the (model-based) structure with air, water or simultaneously with both air and water flows are performed on the equipment available.

In the hydro part of the works, we can implement model-based testing of physical models of the entire hydroelectric power plant with its flow path (inlet/outlet channels, etc.). The simulation tests can be performed under practically all possible operating regimes, including flooding.

It is possible to implement model-based tests on scaled physical models of pipe ducts, conduits, junctions, conversion, both in the open as well as in closed ducts (tubes).
