UNIVERSITY research into aerodynamics is being given a boost by industrial dust and odour control specialists Probe Industries.
Cranfield University is introducing a Probe Atomising Unit at its Royal Military College of Science campus in Shrivenham, Oxfordshire, as part of the equipment used in aerodynamics research.
Probe Industries, in Whitley Bay, Tyne and Wear, gave the unit to researcher Mark Eyles, who plans to use it on a number of projects involving laser-based velocity measurements.
Probe Industries developed the unit to control odours and dust in industrial situations.
Typical applications involve spraying a mist of water over household rubbish at waste stations, controlling odours at sewage plants or keeping down the dust in deep mines.
Probe Industries managing director Phil Rutherford said: "We are a company that thrives on research and development, so it seems appropriate that our most innovative product should find a place at one of the country's leading research centres."
