Wind Tunnel Experiments of the CALLISTO VTVL Launcher in the TMK and HST Wind Tunnels [PDF]
CALLISTO is a demonstrator for a first stage of a reusable vertical take-off, vertical landing rocket and is developed and build within a collaboration of DLR, CNES and JAXA [1]. DLR is leading the aero science team [2] and is in charge of the aerodynamic and aerothermodynamic characterisation of the vehicle.

Scaling of wind turbine aerodynamics: wind tunnel experiments [PDF]
A small-scale wind turbine model was designed and manufactured to study its aerodynamic thrust force and the harvested flow energy. To provide a good understanding of the aerodynamics of the small-scale wind turbine at the low Reynolds number, the performance of three different types of blade airfoils was studied.

Wind-tunnel pressure measurements on model-scale rigid downwind sails [PDF]
This paper describes an experiment that was carried out in the Twisted Flow Wind Tunnel at The University of Auckland to measure a detailed set of pressure distributions on a rigid 1/15th scale model of a modern asymmetric spinnaker. It was observed that

About the suitability of different numerical methods to reproduce model wind turbine measurements in a wind tunnel with a high blockage ratio [PDF]
In the present paper, numerical and experimental investigations of a model wind turbine with a diameter of 3.0 m are described. The study has three objectives. The first one is the provision of validation data.

Wind tunnel experiments: saltation is necessary for wind-packing [PDF]
ABSTRACTWind-packed snow in the form of slabs or crusts is an important part of alpine and polar snow covers. Yet, the formation process of such layers is poorly understood. For example, it remains unclear whether drifting snow is necessary for wind-packing or not.

Numerical Simulation Study of Aerodynamic Noise in High-Rise Buildings
In order to study the aerodynamic noise on the surfaces of high-rise buildings under the action of strong winds, this paper numerically simulated the sound pressure field on the surface of a high-rise building using the large-eddy simulation method ...
