Stratified Towing Tank (U of A)

Coanda was contracted by the University of Alberta to design and build a Stratified Towing Tank. This piece of experimental equipment is designed to provide the capability of studying the characteristics and effects of towing models through fluids that contain stratified layers of different densities. One of the features of this design is a system that provides the flexibility to fill the tow tank with distinct layers of different density fluids or a density gradient. Some other features include a movable interior partition that allows the channel length to be shortened and a computer controlled towing mechanism.
