Wind tunnels are devices that provide invaluable insights into aerodynamics. They are carefully designed and built environments, mirroring the physics of the natural world, in which air flows can be ...
The bottom openings are connected to ultra-quiet suction fans while the top openings allow natural air inflow. This unique feature prevents ingestion of self-turbulence and contamination of the ...
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 ...
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 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 ...
Wind tunnel testing services provide test facilities and technical staff for aerodynamic testing. Tests may be performed on prototype aircraft, helicopters, trains, cars, or buildings. Wind tunnel ...
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 ...
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 ...
FOX 2 News meteorologist Haley Fitzpatrick visited Southern Illinois University’s Edwardsville campus, where they ...
Pablo Macias Torres, a Ph.D. student, firing up the wind tunnel. It is understandably difficult to monitor the internal workings of a wild bird while it is soaring thousands of feet in the air.
Tornado Alerts: A tornado warning demands instant action. Here’s what to do if one comes your way. Flash Flooding: Fast ...
As the fight at the front of Formula 1 has got more intense, the key to success has been in bringing the best upgrades without hitting a snag. The missteps taken so far this year by Ferrari, Red ...
