Quantitative 3D Flow Visualisation System.
The University is looking for a quantitative flow visualisation system that can obtain 3D velocity information at high-speed (i.e. time-resolved for low-speed flows) as well as in high-resolution (i.e. capture different scales in low-speed flows).
The system needs flexibility to breakdown this system in to four individual stereoscopic systems (2 high-speed systems and 2 high-resolution systems). Bidders should provide extended warranty/maintenance options.
There is a requirement for overarching software that will combine all the following instruments in to a tomographic system. Although there may be benefits in placing all instrument orders with one supplier, we are interested in evaluating bids from suppliers for one, two or three (or any combination) of the following instruments. One supplier may choose to subcontract aspects of this tender.
The system is comprised of the following distinct aspects:
A) Time resolved stereoscopic PIV System (2 units),
B) High resolution stereoscopic PIV System (3 units),
C) Tomographic PIV software and associated optics and mounts.
