Three-Dimensional Optical Laser Velocimetry for the HRNBLWT (High Reynolds Number Boundary Layer Wind Tunnel)

从这种基础设施中获得的实验信息将在理解湍流方面取得重大进展，这将影响广泛的工程和地球物理领域。一些具体的例子包括开发有效的湍流控制策略，以减少表面摩擦阻力和改进燃烧过程，从而不仅提高了车辆的燃油效率，还减少了二氧化碳和污染物的排放。在了解包括污染物在内的粒子在大气中的扩散方面也可取得重大进展；风力涡轮机的设计和实施策略，以及气候变化模型。

The experimental information that can be gained from this infrastructure would lead to significant advances in understanding turbulent flows, which would impact a broad range of engineering and geophysical fields. Some specific examples include the development of efficient turbulence control strategies for the reduction of skin-friction drag and improved combustion processes, resulting in not only better fuel efficiency for vehicles but also reduced CO2 and pollutant emissions. Significant advances could also be made in the area of understanding the dispersion of particles, including pollutants, in the atmosphere; wind turbine design and implementation strategies, and climate change modelling.
