The University of Strathclyde awarded a contract to Centrum Techniki Okretowej S.A.

for the concept and detailed design, manufacture, installation, and commissioning of a Fully Turbulent Flow Channel (FTFC) facility at the Kelvin Hydrodynamics Laboratory.

The facility is a circulating water channel with a high aspect ratio measurement section that confines flow between two flat test panels, enabling hydrodynamic tests with flat surfaces combined with anti-fouling coating systems, light biofouling, and passive or active drag reduction mechanisms.

It can circulate freshwater as well as natural or artificial seawater.

The measurement section allows pressure drop measurement related to skin friction drag and visual access for observing and measuring flow characteristics.

The contract value is £94,000.
