Water Channel
Annapolis, MD
The circulating water channel is used for flow visualization, measurement of force and pressure distribution on submerged bodies, and propeller thrust and torque measurement. The test section has a free surface, and pressure can be varied from +6 psi to -12 psi. This allows demonstration of cavitation effects on propellers and hydrofoil sections.
