GFDlab

PAOC maintains an experimental fluids lab for teaching and research. Located on the 15th floor, it comprises several rotating tables together with imaging and computing software for recording experiments.

Construction of the turntable was made possible by a grant from the Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) of the National Science Foundation.
