| Overview |
|
Several laboratories and large-scale research facilities are available for fluid mechanics research in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. The Wind Tunnel Laboratory (Room ENG 1B20) is home to the Low-Speed Wind Tunnel and a two-phase flow loop. The Experimental Fluid Mechanics Laboratory (Room ENG 1B87) is home to a novel X-Y Towing Tank. The Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Laboratory (Room ENG 1B85) is home to computer workstations running commercial CFD software (CFX) and in-house CFD codes (LES, DNS, RANS). Research is also undertaken in the Thermal Sciences Laboratory (Room ENG 1B30) and the Hydraulics Laboratory (Department of Civil and Geological Engineering, Room ENG 1C60). |
