high speed wind tunnels are widely used in the study of fluid flow behavior around various objects. the air flow in the starting step of supersonic wind tunnels is transient including strong shock waves caused by the interaction of the tunnel main stream and the boundary layer at walls. to arrive in running step, the tunnel must be designed so as these waves leave immediately the test section. ...

Wind tunnels allow researchers to investigate animals' flight under controlled conditions, and provide easy access to the animals during flight. These increasingly popular devices can benefit integrative migration biology by allowing us to explore the links between aerodynamic theory and migration as well as the links between flight behavior and physiology. Currently, wind tunnels are being use...

As a new type of parallel manipulator, the wire-driven parallel manipulator has advantageous characteristics such as simple and reconfiguration structure, large workspace, high load capacity, high load/weight ratio, easy assembly/disassembly, high modularization, low cost and high speed. A new concept has been proposed by using the wire-driven parallel manipulator as aircraft model suspension s...

in this study, changes in speed and turbulence intensity in the wake of a peugeot model and the drag coefficient changes with increases vehicle speed in unsteady flow measured and evaluated. the blow open circuit wind tunnel to simulate fluid flow is used. disturbances and nominal maximum speed of the device, respectively is, 30 m / s and 0.01%. has been continuously increasing speed by an inve...

Schlieren imaging in wind-tunnels is extensively utilized to study the effects of air on an airplane surface. One of the interesting subjects for research is to study the effects of speed change on the airplane surface. Speed change results in occurrence of shock waves, which are visualized as lines on Schlieren images. In this paper, we study the problem of detecting speed of a plane after occ...

It is important to create a comfortable wind environment around high-rise buildings for outdoor activities. To predict the environment, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has been widely used by designers and engineers. However, simulation results of different CFD turbulence models might significantly vary. This paper researched typical building verified accuracy simulations based on polyhedral...
