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 easiest material to build your tunnel from is extruded-foam insulation board, which can be found at most home centers. This material is relatively strong, easy to work with, and versatile ...
The Experimental Aerodynamics Laboratory (xAERO Lab) is housed within the Wind Tunnel Building (WIND) on the CU Boulder East Campus and is a part of the Sustainability, Energy, & Environment Community ...
An open-circuit wind tunnel with a length of 4m and a cross section of 0.25m x 0.25m. Smoke is used for flow visualization around building models of various configurations. It is used primarily for ...
Western Michigan University's applied aerodynamics laboratory took over the advanced design wind tunnel from the former McDonnell Douglas Aircraft Company (now the Boeing Company at St. Louis) and had ...
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 ...
