Turbulent Normal/Superfluid He facility (TSF) at CEA
The High Reynolds number Facility (called “TSF”, for “Turbulence SuperFluide”) derives substantial benefit from the large cryogenic refrigerator at CEA Grenoble, called “400 W”, which has a refrigeration capability of 400 W at 1.8 K, making accessible also the domain of superfluid helium. A large helium flow can be circulated in a closed loop by means of a high flow cold circulator (700 g/s), reaching very high Reynolds numbers (up to 2 x 107
