Low-speed RF-Plasma (RFP) Tunnel

The RFP facility is a low pressure, recirculation channel flow wind tunnel, which was developed to study the effects of thermal non-equilibrium on turbulent and transitional flows. The facility is fitted with a 2.5 kW, 13.56 MHz RF power generator, which provides an opportunity to produced flows with significant amounts of vibrationally excited nitrogen.
