Small-scale channel facility
Research Project, 2017 –

In the ongoing AoA post-doc project with Valery Chernoray, Lena Granhag and Rickard Bensow we are studying hydrodynamic drag from marine paints and fouling. We found it highly relevant to make a new small-scale channel facility for dynamic growth and hydrodynamic testing of slime. Such a facility will further increase a level of cooperation between our divisions and will provide a possibility for a number of future joint projects.
