A wind tunnel typically consists of several main components, each playing a critical role in ensuring the accurate simulation and measurement of airflow around the test object. There are many types of ...
Weight is the force due to gravity. Thrust is the forced generated by an object, such as an engine, under test. Wind tunnel testing services use four basic types of wind tunnels: subsonic, transonic, ...
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 ...
The AWB provides the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) with a quiet wind tunnel that enables the very low-noise production of airflow at velocities of up to 60 ...
Typically, when we talk about wind tunnels, we think of the big facilities in use by the aerospace and motorsports industries. However, there’s nothing stopping you building a wind tunnel of ...
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 ...
Before anything leaves ground though, these machines are tested in wind tunnels. [Scott Manley]’s video “How Hypersonic Wind Tunnels Recreate Mach 20” (embedded below) does a wonderful job ...
The aeroacoustic wind tunnel at the University of Bristol is a unique facility, with a National Wind Tunnel status and heavily used for academic and industrial projects. The facility was designed by ...
Here in the UK, the only available wind tunnel is in the Midlands at Horiba MIRA and as well as dating back to the ’60s it doesn’t feature a moving road. For UK vehicle manufacturers and race ...
