External scientists or engineers interested in conducting their own research or development work on the model experiment "Ilmenau Barrel" are cordially invited to realize their ideas. Some examples of possible user applications are listed in the lower part of the website. Scientists from abroad can also be granted this access free of charge within the framework of the EU project EuHIT - European High Performance Infrastructures in Turbulence.
Model experiments, such as the Ilmenau barrel, allow experimental and measurement access to a variety of flow processes and contribute to a better understanding of them. Due to the large dimensions of the measuring cell, seven meters in diameter and eight meters in height, the precisely adjustable thermal boundary conditions and the almost perfect thermal shielding from the environment, countless types of pilot flows can be investigated in this experiment. A large number of state-of-the-art flow and temperature measuring instruments, listed in the lower part of the website, are available for these investigations.
If we have piqued your interest, please contact the person listed above.
We will be happy to provide you with the rules of use of the "Ilmenau Barrel".
