The MIT Marine Hydrodynamics Laboratory houses a medium sized recirculating water tunnel tunnel facility. The test section is 0.5m x 0.5m square by 1.5m long and is suitable for both 2-D and 3-D experiments. The current capabilities of this facility are discussed as well as it's potential for conducting MHD type experiments. Such a facility may prove useful in the observation and understanding of EBLC phenomenon as well as providing data for the validation of numerical modelling efforts. Present efforts such as 2-D hydrofoil viscous boundary layer measurements, flow visualition, LDV capabilities will be discussed. Open discussion of the requirements (and limitations) of test facilities is expected as well as discussion of experiments potentially useful to the understanding of ELBC mechanics.
