FLOW VISUALIZATION LABORATORY
 The
Flow Visualization Laboratory is a water tunnel with test section that
is two feet wide, six feet long and three feet high. It was designed and
built in 1987 by the Fluidyne Corporation. This tunnel can reach flow
velocities between 0 to 1 fps and models can be moved either in yaw or
pitch.
The Flow Visualization
Laboratory has the following capabilities:
- Flow visualization
using dye streams or hydrogen bubbles
- PC Based data acquisition
systems
- Two channels of
Constant Temperature Anemometry (CTA) for flow speed measurement
- Three axis probe
traverse
- Three component
external balance
- Laser and high-intensity
lighting systems
- High-resolution
digital camera
- Digital video cameras
- Submersible video
camera
- VHS and digital
