SAFL is an interdisciplinary fluid mechanics research center and education facility under the College of Science and Engineering at the University of Minnesota. Dedicated in 1938, SAFL takes advantage of its unique position near St. Anthony Falls on the Mississippi River to divert and direct river water through the building for use in experiments and research. While initially constructed for hydraulic engineering research, SAFL has expanded its research into fields such as river/stream restoration, fluvial geomorphology and landscape dynamics, renewable energy systems (biofuels, marine hydrokinetic energy, wind energy), cavitation and bubbly flows, and biochemical processes in aquatic ecosystems.
