As part of the project, we, as Dokuz Eylul University (DEU), carried out the Phase 1 testing of the Pipe Losses VR experiment developed by the University of Niš (UNI). In support of digital research and teaching, we are pleased to experience the first VR experiment in the DEU hydraulics laboratory, where we can physically perform many experiments on fluid mechanics and hydraulics.
Despite all the ongoing developments, it is clear that the "UNI Pipe Losses ViLE" experiment that allows measuring friction losses and minor losses in pipe systems, calculating loss coefficients, and monitoring scenarios under different flow conditions will contribute as intended to digital water education, especially at the point of distance education as part of remotely planned teaching models or enforced due to force majeure conditions.
