Facilities

The following are examples of wind tunnels and experimental equipment installed in our laboratory.

Low-speed suction type wind tunnel (200mm x 600mm)
Open type low-speed blow-down wind tunnel (600mm x 600mm.)
Two-dimensional particle image velocimetry (PIV)
Three-dimensional printer

For studies on numerical simulations, the computers in our laboratory are available. Further, we use the supercomputer system at the Information Technology Center, The University of Tokyo.
