Travel through the pipe and exit out the other end. Backwards facing recirulating water channel for studying shear layer flows. Two major computers run the system. One computer interfaces with the LDA system and controls the traverse to emulate a virtual particle while the another grabs images from the ES1.0 camera and later performs a DPIV analysis. Included is the two-axis positioning system, laser and camera systems, narrow and step channels, as well as one example computer.
Real apparatus includes extensive speed rail support system and a work area beneath the channels.
