Polysonic Wind Tunnel
The polysonic wind tunnel (PSWT) is jointly sponsored by the National Science Foundation and the Florida Center for Advanced Aero-propulsion. The PSWT with a large Mach number range (0.2 to 5), 12-in. test-section and advanced diagnostics is a unique, shared resource for developing novel active flow and noise control techniques, generate aerodynamic characteristics for the design of a flight vehicle, advance key fundamental sciences, attract, educate, and help retain a diverse pools of engineers and scientists. The PSWT is large enough to be useful to industry, ensuring its long-term use and sustainability, yet small enough to be efficiently operated by university personnel. The facility incorporate unique design features that will facilitate low test-section noise and extensive optical access for flow diagnostics.

Anechoic Wind Tunnel
The FSU Anechoic Wind Tunnel is an open-circuit subsonic facility which has a 36” x 48” x 120” test section with a speed range of approximately 18-75 m/s. The facility employs a 450-hp centrifugal fan and has an anechoic chamber with a 250 Hz cut-on frequency enclosing the test section. The open-jet can be converted into a closed-wall wind tunnel as it has a removable test section with excellent optical access. The facility will be used for aerodynamic and aeroacoustic studies of various flow-induced noise phenomenon and boasts state-of-the-art experimental fluid dynamic and aeroacoustic measurement capabilities.

Low Speed Wind Tunnel
The Low speed wind tunnel facility has a 30” x 30” x 60” test section and a speed range of 2 to 70 m/s. The facility will be used to carry out measurements on a wide range of test articles to develop innovative, practical active flow control techniques and advanced diagnostics to study the design of, and fundamental problems in low-speed flight vehicles.
