KURING Wind Tunnel: Aerodynamic Characteristics Tests of Road Vehicles in Time-Dependent Winds
An advanced wind tunnel has been introduced as a facility for road vehicle development at the Kindai University (KURING). In this paper, the features of this wind tunnel, which can generate arbitrary patterns of time-varying wind velocities, are first described. There are four representative airflow patterns: steady wind with constant velocity, pulsating wind with oscillating velocity, gusts of...
متن کاملFlow Visualization in Wind Tunnels
Flow visualization is an experimental means of examining the flow patterns around a body or over its surface. The flow is “visualized” by introducing dye, smoke or pigment into the flow in the area under investigation. The primary advantage of such a method is its ability to provide a description of the flow over a model without a complicated data reduction and analysis. Smokeflow visualization...
متن کاملWind tunnel tests of a free yawing downwind wind turbine
This research paper presents preliminary results on a behavioural study of a free yawing downwind wind turbine. A series of wind tunnel tests was performed at the TU Delft Open Jet Facility with a three bladed downwind wind turbine and a rotor radius of 0.8 meters. The setup includes an off the shelf three bladed hub, nacelle and generator on which relatively flexible blades are mounted. The to...
متن کاملLow-Speed Wind-Tunnel Tests on some Slender Airbus Configurations
An experimentalinvestigation has been made of the subsonic lift, drag and longitudinal stability characteristics of models representing some alternative slender airbus configurations. For the same wing planform of aspect ratio 1.4 the lift, drag and pitching moment have been measured for two wings of maximum thickness/chord ratio 4 and 9 per cent respectively, both without and with various body...
