Emerson Cavitation Tunnel

Capabilities

  • Propeller tests in uniform and non-uniform streams.
  • Wake simulation using a wake screen including, if required, flat plate impulse measurements.
  • Wake simulation using dummy hull model including, if required, hull surface impulse measurements.
  • Tests with ducted propellers in uniform stream or with wake screens including measurements of duct thrust.
  • Controllable pitch propeller tests.
  • Propeller model noise measurements.
  • Drag forces on submerged bodies.
  • Recording of nature and extent of cavitation, using still and video cameras.
  • Flow measurement using LDA/PDA.
