Testing of calibration models in order to certify the overall reliability of the trisonic blowdown wind tunnel of VTI [PDF]
It is strongly recommended that wind tunnel calibrations become a regular part of the operational cycle for any wind tunnel. They facilitate tunnel-totunnel data comparisons. Standard calibration model, representing a generic winged missile configuration,

Contemporary frame of measurement and assessment of wind-tunnel flow quality in a low-speed facility [PDF]
The requirements for the accuracy of measurements in a wind tunnel test become more and more severe while the complexity of the test increases. In an environment of reduced time available for wind tunnel test and increasing test costs, it is important ...

Wind tunnel tests of an airfoil with 18% relative thickness equipped with vortex generators
Vortex generators have in recent years been used extensively on pitch regulated wind turbines. A new trend has been to use vortex generators on thinner airfoils on the outer part of the blades.

Aerodynamic and Structural Strategies for the Rotor Design of a Wind Turbine Scaled Model
Experimental tests performed in a wind tunnel or in a natural laboratory represent a fundamental research tool to develop floating wind technologies. In order to obtain reliable results, the wind turbine scale model rotor must be designed so to obtain a ...
