The CAVE facility would allow 3D viewing of both turbomachinery hardware and the 3D flows within them. This will enhance understanding of these complex flows. The CAVE 3D viewing capability would be useful both for research in turbomachinery design and in courses such as
Modern CFD codes, such as MEFP developed by the authors, allow the calculation of the turbulent three-dimensional flows found in turbomachinery blade rows. Properties of the flow such as
