Laboratory - Tow Testing
[I-C]

I want to make measurements in a laboratory. [change]
My research involves tow testing of models. [change]

Depending on the scales of interest, one of our Acoustic Doppler Velocimeters (ADV) -- either the MicroADV or the ADV -- can be used for tow testing of models. The MicroADV is capable of significantly better resolution in both space and time. The MicroADV probe needs to be within 20 m of your PC, while the ADV can be up to 30 m away. Distance (i.e., cable length) is important because of signal attenuation. There is less attenuation with the 10-MHz ADV as compared to the 16-MHz MicroADV.

For tow testing of models, probes can be mounted either on the models or in the tank. Probes with the sensor head mounted on a flexible cable provide the most versatility in mounting.
