ETHAN50-ablWT

Picture
The Department of Energy of the University of Oviedo (GIFD: Fluid Mechanics Area and Hydraulic Engineering Area) announces: the new wind tunnel is officially under the calibration stage! The circuit was closed two weeks ago and the researchers carried out the load test, putting the 4 fans up to 180 km/h in the test section.

ETHAN50-ablWT. Boundary layer wind tunnel, closed circuit.

Why

Hydraulic Engineering Area at University of Oviedo is building a new Wind Tunnel, an outstanding facility, much bigger and better than the other four WT we made years ago.

How

The main specifications are the dimensions of the main test section, 2,25 m2, and a maximum operating speed about 50 m/s (power 180 kW).

What for

The circuit is formed by a closed ring of nearly 80 m long. The main test chamber is 10 m long and it will allow us to study  ABL problems (Atmospheric Boundary Layer phenomena).
