Instrumented with LASER Doppler Velocimeter mounted on 3 axis traverse which can non-intrusively measure 2-D point velocity and profiles. The LDV can be used in hostile environments and needs no calibration. Custom instruments and/or pitot tubes, temperature probes, salinity probes, etc. can be easily installed. The tunnel can be used for a range of test applications. A flat plate test fixture allows the study of skin friction drag and turbulent boundary layer structure. Experiments to quantify the flow dynamics around test models as well as full-scale oceanographic instruments can be conducted. Bluff body wakes can be investigated. Calibrations of other velocity measuring instruments can be made. Available for your research/test programs at very competitive pricing.
