Particle Image Velocimetry Facility

(PIV House)

 

The PIV House is a facility constructed in order to improve the TSFL's use PIV techniques. The PIV House has a closed loop air movement system that allows the seeding element to become uniformly distributed in the flow. THe interior of the PIV house is painted so that the Laser light used the PIV experiments will be reflected as little as possible.
