Turbulence

On his death bed, Heisenberg is reported to have said, "When I meet God, I am going to ask him two questions: Why relativity? And why turbulence? I really believe he will have an answer for the first."

A turbulent flow field varies in both space and time, making it very difficult to analyze, understand and control.  The  goal of this laboratory is to increase our knowledge of turbulent flow fields by improving our ability to make measurements in these flow fields.  Thus, the emphasis of this laboratory is on time-resolved and three-dimensional measurements with the ultimate goal of measuring everything, everywhere all the time.
