EquipmentWater tunnel

Closed loop water tunnel (ex-Callaghan innovation), featuring a 0.25m^2 x 0.7m test section with optical access (leveraging high speed video / PIV) and propeller shaft with torque and thrust measurements. The pressure in the tunnel can be reduced to aid cavitation studies. Max velocity: 3.6 m/s Max volumetric flow rate: 225 l/s Max prop diamteter: 150mm Torque and thrust measurement uncertainty: +/- 0.5%
