Location:

Southampton

Organisation:

University of Southampton

Host(s):

RJ Mitchell Wind Tunnel

Hosted by the University of Southampton, this four-day training programme focused on PIV technique and applications.

The programme covered classroom sessions and laser induction, tours at NWTF facilities (Anechoic Wind Tunnel and Towing Tank), LED-based PIV lab in water flume, and a dedicated day of PIV hands-on experiment at RJ Mitchell Wind Tunnel.

The workshop was designed for experimental aerodynamics personnel interested in learning or improving experimental practices in PIV as a non-intrusive technique. Activities included all PIV activities from hardware setup (including troubleshooting) to wind tunnel data acquisition.

The event took place at the University of Southampton across multiple facilities, primarily at RJ Mitchell Wind Tunnel at Highfield Campus – the largest university-owned wind tunnel in the UK. Limited to 12 attendees, split into two groups for a better hands-on experience.
