Quiet Water Tunnel
Newport, RI
Overview: The Quiet Water Tunnel (QWT) is a hydro-acoustic research facility designed for measurement of non-acoustic turbulent flow noise (pseudosound) and flow-induced acoustic noise. The QWT is located in Building 122 at the Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Newport, Rhode Island. The facility is acoustically quiet above 30 Hz thus allowing measurements of "low wavenumber" turbulent wall pressure levels in the absence of significant ambient acoustic noise. Fresh water is used as the working fluid (salt water is not used in the system).
