Wind Tunnel Testing Questions & Experiments

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around wind tunnel testing, including experiences, experiments, and specific design inquiries related to force balance measurements. Participants share their backgrounds and seek to explore various aspects of wind tunnel applications.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Debate/contested, Experimental/applied

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about the existence of a dedicated section for experiments related to wind tunnel testing.
  • Another participant mentions their experience with wind tunnel testing during their degree thesis, specifically focusing on tunnel correction for semi-span model testing.
  • A participant seeks advice on force balance design for measuring lift in a homemade wind tunnel, providing dimensions of the test section.
  • There is a request for clarification on the type of information needed regarding wind tunnel testing.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

The discussion includes multiple perspectives on wind tunnel testing, with no clear consensus on specific methodologies or designs presented yet.

Contextual Notes

Participants have not yet defined specific assumptions or parameters for their inquiries, and some technical details regarding force balance designs remain unresolved.

Hello,

Is there people amongst you who have ever dealt with Wind Tunnel testing?

I cannot find a special section for experiments in this forum...


I have a few topic to launch!

Thanks...
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
This would be the place.
 
hi all,

i dealt with wind tunnel testing for my degree thesis, couple years back.
my thesis title was "Tunnel Correction for Semi-Span Model Testing in Low Speed Wind Tunnel".

maybe i can contribute what i learned about wind tunnel w u guys.
 
What is the problem
 
force balance design

My son and I have built a 4 foot Baals-design wind tunnel. Does anyone know of a good force balance design to use to measure lift. The test section is 10" long by 7" high.
 
hi
What kind of information you need.
