The Große Wasserkanal Braunschweig (Large Watertunnel Braunschweig) is a joint project of the ISM and the Institute of Jet Propulsion and Turbomachinery. It is designed as a closed return tunnel with a test section cross-section of 1 m x 1 m and a working length of 6 m. The maximum flow velocity in the test section is 6 m/s. In combination with the low viscosity of water, which can be further controlled by heating, Reynolds-numbers of up to 2.5 x 10⁶ are possible.
The ice and multi-phase wind tunnel Braunschweig (Braunschweig Icing Wind Tunnel BIWT) is a Göttingen type of wind tunnel with a test section cross-section of 0.5m x 0.5m. The maximum speed is 40m/s, the duct temperature can be regulated between -20°C and 30°C. The wind tunnel has a spray system for injecting water droplets, as well as a system for introducing naturally growing ice crystals for freezing experiments with supercooled water droplets, ice crystals and mixed phase conditions.
The low noise low-speed wind tunnel Braunschweig (LNB) is an atmospheric Eiffel-type wind tunnel with a modular test section. The test section with a cross-section of 0.4 m x 0.6 features optimum optical access and low turbulence levels with flow velocities of up to 19 m/s.
