The Cavitation Tunnel is a fundamental tool for research and development in Maritime Engineering and more generally in Fluid Mechanics. The tunnel has been developed with broad capabilities to serve the maritime industry, with major applications in propulsion and appendage hydrodynamics and in general for industrial flow processes that occur in such machinery as pumps, turbines and heat exchangers. Modern design features of the facility include ideal optical access and over-pressure capability.
