Wind Tunnels

The Journal of the Royal Aeronautical Society, 1927
The wind channel and the whirling arm have been devised and perfected over a period of a number of years with a view to providing reliable aerodynamic data for aircraft designers. Of late years the wind channel has been used considerably more than the whirling arm.In the two pieces of apparatus distinct methods are used.

Gustave Eiffel's wind tunnel

IEEE Instrumentation & Measurement Magazine, 2018
The Eiffel Tower was built for the Paris Exposition of 1889. By 1903, Gustave Eiffel had become interested in the new subject of aerodynamics. In that year, he rigged up a cable from the second floor of the tower to the ground. Test objects could be dropped along the cable, and their reaction to wind resistance could be measured.

Natural wind utilization in the vertical shaft of a super-long highway tunnel and its energy saving effect

Building and Environment, 2018
The understanding of natural ventilation in super-long tunnels can help to optimize the design of ventilation systems and reduce energy consumption and maintenance costs. This paper studied the energy-saving effect of natural ventilation in a newly built

Environmental wind tunnel

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1996
An environmental wind tunnel for producing air flow over an automotive vehicle includes a source of air under pressure and an elongated housing for receiving an automotive vehicle. The environmental wind tunnel has an upstream end coupled to the downstream end of the source of air under pressure, so that air is blown axially through the housing from ...
