The experimental aeroacoustics lab directed by Drs. Devenport and Alexander provides state of the art measurement capabilities, facilities and experiment space for the study of aeroacoustics in low Mach number flows. The lab is equipped with several flow facilities, and instrumentation for turbulent flow and acoustic measurements, including a large range of microphone systems. Research in the space also serves experimental test programs staged in the nearby Stability Wind Tunnel.
