About Us
TEWT is a low-speed, open-loop wind tunnel research facility designed for simulation of the atmospheric boundary layer both in clean air and with sediment transport. The development of this facility was completed entirely 'in-house' with funds provided by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council, the Canadian Foundation for Innovation (CFI) and Trent University (TU-NSRC).
Low temperature simulation (down to -10º C) and full humidity control are several of the primary distinguishing features of this facility.
