ANTC has access to aerodynamic and measurement equipment.
Particle Image Velocimetry
TSI system
- Laser system consists of two Gemini Nd:YAG1 lasers by New Wave Research that are capable of running at 15 Hz double-pulse repetition rate, emitting 120MJ pulses at 532 nm light wavelength.
- Charge-Coupled Device (CCD) records the two images
- View field of 2048 pixels x 2048 pixels can be obtained.
-
Software is Inisght 4G.
LaVision's high-frequency 2D Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) system
- System is controlled using LaVision's DaVis Imaging Software.
- Field view 1024 × 1024 pixel device.
Hotwire Anemometry
- Two hotwire systems are available: AN-1005 Hot-Wire Anemometry and Newcastle NSW bridge.
- The hotwire can be mounted on a Dantec 6mm diameter 55H24 probe support or the supports.
- Analogue signals (both from the hot-wire and the pitot-static tubes) were digitised using a National Instruments USB-9162 Analog - Digital Converter and recorded by the EnFlo software
- Enflo software is used for simultaneously controlling, calibrating and recording all the wind tunnel's devices and instrumentation.
Microphones
- GRAS 46AE and 46BE fee-field microphones
- GRAS 47BX Flush mounted microphones
Phased microphone arrays
- ANTC has a number of phased microphone arrays including 112 and 77 channel arrays.
Pressure
- Two scanivalve ZOC33-64 (10mmH2O) pressure scanners
Data acquisition
- dSPACE DS1104 system
- dSPACE DS1006 system with modular I/O
