Measurements of dust deposition velocity in a wind-tunnel experiment [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2014 In this study, we present the results of a wind-tunnel experiment on dust deposition. A new method is proposed to derive dust deposition velocity from PDA (particle dynamics analysis) particle-velocity and particle-size measurements.

A low-cost wind tunnel for bird flight experiments [PDF]
Journal of Ornithology, 2022 AbstractA blower-type wind tunnel for physiological bird flight experiments has been developed, constructed and evaluated. Since the birds to be investigated are rather big (Northern Bald Ibis, Geronticus eremita), the cross-sectional area of the test section measures 2.5 m × 1.5 m. The maximum achievable flow speed is approximately 16 ms−1.
