Description:
Operation: generation of original knowledge in turbulence; development and technological innovation with design and construction of experimental equipment.
History: with established expertise in aspects related to mathematical modeling of turbulence, the Laboratory's activities focused on implementing a consistent program of experimental research. As a result, the Laboratory is now self-sufficient in thermal anemometry and in electro-resistive techniques for measuring the properties of multiphase fluid systems.
Equipment: aerodynamic tunnel, used for studies related to the characterization of flows at the leading edge of a flat plate; stratified tunnel, used for studies on flows over rough surfaces, with topographic variation; axisymmetric jets incident perpendicularly on a heated surface are studied in a specific apparatus; bubble plumes are studied in a stagnant tank; high-speed camera (8.000 frames per second), micromanometers, thermocouples and various support equipment and LDV systems. All experimental apparatuses are fully automated, having their own sensor positioning system and specific instrumentation.
