Chaperoned users

To become a chaperoned user (or just tour the tank):

Chaperoned users may

  • Use/tour the facility (without training) if chaperoned by a member of the Tow Tank Lab (Triantafyllou advisees)

This is best for a one-off experiment. However, since we don't have a lab technician, we are not really paid to do this. Please be patient, and if you come more than 2-3 times, we'll request that you become an unchaperoned user. We reserve the right to deny chaperoning you if we are otherwise busy with our own research obligations.

Your chaperone will add your experiment time to our Google Calendar.

Unchaperoned users

To become an unchaperoned user:

  • You must get permission (email is fine) from Michael Triantafyllou
  • You have to schedule lab-specific safety training with the lab EHS rep (currently Jacob Izraelevitz jsi@mit.edu)
  • MUST commit to attending twice monthly lab maintenance sessions. 

Unchaperoned users may

  • Open the doors (we'll give you the door code)
  • Use the labspace next to the big tank at any time
  • Oscilloscopes, power supplies, carriage + wavemaker may be used with permission
  • Use small quantities of expendable bolts/
  • Only when scheduled - mount to the carriage, tank walls, or small tank
  • Only if a buddy (does not have to be a tow tank member) is with you - enter the water

Unchaperoned users may not

  • Use our laser, force meters, cameras (bring everything you need for your own experiment)
  • Take anything out of the space
  • Use the labspace next to the big tank at any tim

We will only grant unchaperoned access for the length of your experiment (few months), and then you must renew it.

Unsatisfactory compliance with usage guidelines may result in revocation of tow tank guest privileges. 

Class Labs

If you are a TA for one of the OE/2N classes, you should first

  • You have to schedule lab-specific safety training with the lab EHS rep (currently Jacob Izraelevitz jsi@mit.edu)

Class TA's may then

  • Open the doors (we'll give you the door code)
  • Use the labspace next to the big tank at any time
  • Only when scheduled - run the actual class lab. Since there is a lot of people, we will probably send someone to chaperone anyway
  • Only if a buddy is with you - enter the water

Scheduling Time

  • If you are an Unchaperoned user, you only need to schedule time with us if you are actually mounting your experiment. Otherwise you may use the labspace at will
  • Time limit (21 days, etc) to storing experiment-related equipment consecutively
