wind tunnel speed
1wind tunnel — /wind/, Aeron. a tubular chamber or structure in which a steady current of air can be maintained at a controlled velocity, equipped with devices for measuring and recording forces and moments on scale models of complete aircraft or of their parts …
2Wind tunnel — A wind tunnel is a research tool developed to assist with studying the effects of air moving over or around solid objects.Ways that wind speed and flow are measured in wind tunnels: * Threads can be attached to the surface of study objects to… …
3wind tunnel — A tubelike structure or passage, sometimes continuous, which together with its adjuncts (such as a fan), produces a high speed movement of air or other gas. Objects such as engines or aircraft, airfoils, rockets (or models of these objects), etc …
4Hypersonic wind tunnel — A hypersonic wind tunnel is designed to generate a hypersonic flow field in the working section. The speed of these tunnels vary from Mach 5 to 15. As with supersonic wind tunnels, these types of tunnels must run intermittently with very high… …
5Vertical wind tunnel — A vertical wind tunnel (VWT) is a wind tunnel which moves air up in a vertical column. It is a recreational wind tunnel, frequently advertised as indoor skydiving or bodyflight . It is also a popular training tool for skydivers.Vertical wind… …
6Trisonic wind tunnel — The Trisonic Wind Tunnel (TWT) is a wind tunnel in El Segundo, California. It was built by North American Aviation in the 1950s. This tunnel is so named because it is capable of testing in three speed regimes subsonic, transonic, and supersonic,… …
7Supersonic wind tunnel — A supersonic wind tunnel is a wind tunnel that produces supersonic speeds (1.2 …
8Subsonic and transonic wind tunnel — ubsonic tunnelLow speed wind tunnels are used for operations at very low mach number, with speeds in the test section up to 400 km/h ( 100 m/s, M = 0.3). They are of open return type ( losses. Open wind tunnelThe working principle is based on the …
9Numerical Wind Tunnel — was an early implementation of the vector parallel architecture developed in a joint project between National Aerospace Laboratory of Japan and Fujitsu. It was the first supercomputer with a sustained performance of close to 100 Gflop/s for a… …
10Wind engineering — is a field of structural engineering devoted to the analysis of wind effects on the natural or built environment to protect it from possible damage. It includes strong winds which may cause discomfort as well as extreme winds such as tornadoes,… …
