Gas Dynamics and Turbulence Laboratory (GDTL)
The work at GDTL is focused on flow and acoustic diagnostics and control to improve performance and mitigate environmental impact of Aerospace vehicles
The work is often interdisciplinary in nature and brings together researchers from OSU as well as
Realistic flow and acoustic and sensors
Control technology, and
Laser-based diagnostics
The work is supported by NASA, Air Force, Navy, National Sciences Foundation, and industry
There are four experimental facilities and an array of advanced laser –based diagnostics
GDTL share air supply with Gas Turbine Lab and the Aeronautics and Astronautics lab, (three Norwalk model TDR-S 5T 5-stage reciprocating compressors; 220 horsepower each, 1700 SCFM, 3000 psig
