| Beside the classical
instrumentation intended for the measurement of fluid properties,
flow parameters, and thermal phenomena, cmefe also has a wide array
of tools for the visualization of subsonic and supersonic flows.
In order to successfully carry out industrial and research projects,
cmefe also has a rich array of tesbeds and equipment, including:
- A large
subsonic wind tunnel with maximum flow speeds of about
80 m/s (290
km/h) and a test section of substantial size (1.5 m x 2 m in cross
section, 5 m in length).
- A
calibration wind tunnel with low turbulence and flow
speeds up to 80 m/s (290 km/h).
- An Eiffel-type wind
tunnel with volume flux of 20 cubic-meters
per second.
- A
supersonic wind tunnel that allows flow studies around
profiles up to Mach 2.4 (roughly 3000 km/h), with a test section
of 0.12 m x 0.08 m.
- Force
balances of various load capacity.
- Calibration
room for force balance calibration.
- A 3D scanner that provides a 3D CAD
description of models.
- A testing stand for hydraulic
machinery.
- A towing tank.
- High
performances computing facilities for flows and thermal
processes simulations.
