The St. Anthony Falls Laboratory (SAFL) is an interdisciplinary fluid mechanics research lab and educational facility under the College of Science and Engineering at the University of Minnesota. We are engineers and scientists who collaborate across disciplines to solve fluids-related problems in the Earth-surface environment. Our vision encompasses both science and practice, beginning with applied research and moving through application, decision-making, and management. Founded in 1938, SAFL takes advantage of its unique location in downtown Minneapolis adjacent to the St. Anthony Falls - the largest waterfall on the Mississippi River - by diverting up to 300 cfs (cubic feet per second) of river water through the building for use in our research and experiments. A tour through this historic facility will showcase current research projects as well as the range of experimental facilities available for use by researchers and SAFL collaborators.
