Recent advances have significantly enhanced our understanding of the complex fluid dynamics surrounding wind turbine blades. By employing non-invasive imaging techniques such as infrared thermography, ...

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 capabilities of the UF wind tunnel enabled us to investigate the hurricane winds at two different scales,” said NIST’s lead Hurricane Maria investigator, Joseph Main, “so we could measure how the ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Freightliner LLC has opened North America’s only full-scale wind tunnel built solely for testing heavy and medium-duty trucks. The 12,000-square-foot facility, located near the company’s Portland, Ore ...
