The 1.5-Inch Ultra-High-Speed Cavitation Tunnel at the Applied Research Laboratory of the Pennsylvania State University.
Abstract
A discussion is presented of the 1.5 inch ultra-high-speed cavitation tunnel located at The Garfield Thomas Water Tunnel building of the Applied Research Laboratory at The Pennsylvania State University. Included is a description of the facility, operating procedures, and details of the tunnel calibration. The facility is designed to permit large variations in velocity, pressure, and temperature for various liquids. The maximum operating condition for these parameters is 300 fps, 1200 psia, and 300F. Color illustrations reproduced in black and white.
