This is a high-velocity, closed-jet water tunnel with absolute pressure regulation, in which a wide range of flow conditions can be achieved. Experimental tools include laser-based optical techniques (high-speed PIV, PIV, LDV, PDA), hydrophones, high-speed photography and video, force balances, as well as highly instrumented models.
Test section size: 0.62x0.62 ft (0.19x0.19 m)
Maximum velocity: in excess of 20 m/s.
