The basic research wind tunnel at Western Michigan University's applied aerodynamics laboratory is shown schematically in Figure 1. It was donated by General Motors. This tunnel will be set up as long ...

Given that the main focus of analysis is placed on commercial transport aircraft, all models and setups are designed for the Transonic Wind Tunnel in Göttingen, although they are also used in other ...

This is the central area of the wind tunnel where the actual object or model is placed for testing. The test section can vary in size based on the specific requirements of the experiment or test. The ...

The small wind tunnel with a 16-by-16 inch test section is a low speed, open return tunnel, as shown in Figure 1. It is mainly used for airfoil section tests and teaching. he velocity is up to 50 m/s.

is a closed section wind tunnel and is designed to provide a highly uniform and low turbulence flow. The A3 wind tunnel was designed and built by Dr R. V. Barrett* in the 1980s and has since been ...

Transonic wind tunnels are similar in design to subsonic wind tunnels, but can achieve speeds close to the speed of sound (Mach 1). The highest speed is achieved in the test section. Because transonic ...

The A1 wind tunnel at the University of Bristol is closed-section wind tunnel, with a 2.1 m x 1.5 m octagonal test section and can reach flow speed of 60 m/s. The return section, measuring at 5.5 m x ...

The H2K of the DLR Institute of Aerodynamics and Flow Technology in Cologne is a wind tunnel with a free-jet test section. The facility enables aerodynamic and aerothermal characterisation for scale ...

Postdoctoral researcher Girguis O. Sedky sitting inside of the wind tunnel, showing the covert feather-inspired flaps attached to the 3D-printed model airplane wing. The flaps deploy automatically ...

Characterizing the aerodynamic performance of a vehicle usually requires a wind tunnel since ... and precision-graded section of road, anyway. Turns out the Catesby Tunnel in the UK meets those ...

While recent simulations seemed to support Tesla’s claims, the best way to confirm Tesla's numbers is by testing a production Cybertruck in a wind tunnel. Independent test results are unlikely ...
