Rotating-Disk Facility:
Two pictures of the rotating-disk facility of our group. This apparatus is
used to study the laminar-turbulent transition of fully three-dimensional
flows. Such flows exist in similar form, for instance, on highly swept
wings of aeroplanes.
The rotating disk is inside the tank shown in the first photograph.
The tank is filled with water. We use hot-film anemometry for our
measurements. The second photograph displays a view into the tank.
