Members of the SuperSonic/TranSonic/WindTunnel team work on their equipment at the Air Breathing Test Cell at UAH's Johnson Research Center. The project is under the ...

Air flow in the natural environment affects the distribution of organisms, mechanical stresses, heat losses by convection, and moisture distribution. Air flow was visualized by bubble tracers in a ...

When comparing the efficiency of different wind turbine blade designs, [AdamEnt] found using a hair dryer wasn’t the best tool for the job. Enter his new 3D-printed wind tunnel. After several ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Purdue University engineers have developed a wind tunnel that is the only one of its kind in the world capable of running quietly at "hypersonic" speeds, helping researchers to ...

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.

Aerodynamics have always been an important part of automotive design. A lower drag coefficient means that it takes less energy for a vehicle to overcome air resistance, or more simply put: better fuel ...

In this historical photo from the U.S. space agency, an F-16 Scamp model being tested in the BART on Oct. 6, 1992. The photo shows a basic flow visualization test using smoke and a laser light sheet ...

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 your very ...

The multi-fan wind tunnel is controlled by a 64 inertia array (8x8) of small axial fans. These fans can be controlled individually or in groups using the the supplied software. Each individual fan can ...
