“Turbulence was and still is an unsolved problem in the sense that we cannot exactly simulate realistic flows on computers, i.e. we still need a wind tunnel to design an aircraft wing. But ...

A team of researchers from Princeton University is exploring how feather-like flaps on aircraft wings could improve stability ...

The low turbulence wind tunnel (A3) is a closed section wind tunnel and is designed to provide a highly uniform and low turbulence flow. The A3 wind tunnel was designed and built by Dr R. V. Barrett* ...

German aerospace researchers believe predictive load-alleviation can improve fuel consumption by more than 7% while improving ...

The 200mm x 300mm Low-Turbulence Variable Geometry (LTVG) Supersonic Wind Tunnel is equipped with Mach 2 and Mach 3 nozzles. The facility was designed to fulfill three specific objectives: l) Low ...

The HyperBLaF is a Mach 8 blowdown wind tunnel used for fundamental studies of compressible turbulence, shock wave/boundary layer interactions, shock/shock interactions and configuration studies of ...

Researchers have investigated the aerodynamic performance of a single floating PV setup of 16 panels, as well as an array that combined 15 such setups. They found that drag coefficient distributions ...

The basic research wind tunnel at Western Michigan University's applied aerodynamics ... Immediately upstream of the contraction, a flow straightener and two wire-mesh anti-turbulence screens are ...

Five passengers were hospitalized after a United Airlines regional flight encountered turbulence and diverted to Waco, Texas, on Sunday. According to SkyWest, which was operating the flight for ...
