Student Sara Alhasan accepts an award for her excellence in stewardship from professor Rupp Carriveau, co-director and co-founder of the Turbulence and Energy Lab, at its 2016 research awards ceremony.
A reception September 16 honoured high-achieving researchers in the University of Windsor’s Turbulence and Energy Laboratory.
The components for the first of two new wind tunnels to be installed in the new Ed Lumley Centre for Engineering Innovation began arriving late last week, much to the delight of the researchers who will be working with them.
Made by Industrial Metal Fabricators Ltd. of Chatham, the elevated 12 meter tunnel will run in a closed loop around the walls of a lab in the north-east corner of the CEI. With a 1.2 meter fan and a 30 horsepower motor, the tunnel will be capable of generating wind speeds of up to about 30 meters per second.
