Summary
Machine-generated summaryEPFL intends to purchase a complete High-Speed Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) system for its Hydraulic Machines Technology Platform (PTMH), part of the associated vice-presidency for Centers and Platforms (AVP-CP). The equipment will be used for state-of-the-art fluid dynamics research, especially complex unsteady and transient flow phenomena with applications in hydropower. The focus covers high-speed stereo PIV with a controlled positioning system for highly resolved flow field measurements, including flow stability, vortex dynamics, cavitation dynamics, and turbulent particle-laden flows. No estimated value, deadline, or procedure details are stated in the notice; these must be verified directly in the full tender documents.
