Wind Tunnel Design for Wind Turbines

2021
Die weltweit steigende Anzahl an Windkraftwerken beschert der Weiterentwicklung an Windturbinen ebenfalls einen großen Aufschwung. Obwohl computerunterstützte Simulationsmethoden wie CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Erprobung von Windturbinen leisten, sind experimentell bestimmte Ergebnisse in diesem Bereich unerlässlich ...

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.

Turbulence in Wind Tunnels

Aircraft Engineering and Aerospace Technology, 1932
THE subject of turbulence is one of great interest in the field of aerodynamics, and many investigations are in progress in the aerodynamical laboratories of the world on various aspects of the subject. The recent international co‐operative measurements inaugurated under the auspices of the National Physical Laboratory of Great Britain have shown that ...

Towards the virtual wind tunnel

2017
The maturity of numerical techniques both in Computational Structural and Fluid Dynamics, accompanied by the availability of affordable high-performance hardware, allows the use of virtual rapid-prototyping facilities as realistic alternatives to traditional wind tunnel experiments.

Wind-Tunnel Observations

1973
BEFORE proceeding to the results of the experimental work done in sand moving under controlled conditions through a wind tunnel, it may be of interest to describe shortly the final form of the tunnel with which the work was carried out. The design had to fulfil a number of special requirements, and as no previous experimental work on the subject had ...
