Funded Activity Summary

Control of free/dissolved gas content in a cavitation tunnel. The proposed equipment is for increased productivity and enhancing research capability of the Tom Fink Cavitation Tunnel located at the Australian Maritime College. The cavitation tunnel is used for investigating flows about ships and underwater bodies. The proposed equipment permits the rapid control of gas content in the tunnel water either dissolved or free as bubbles which together control the nature of cavitation and other two phase flows. The equipment will significant enhance existing research programs in support of the high speed craft and defence sectors of the maritime industry both nationally and internationally.
