#formulawindy: wind tunnels |
|
The Department of Energy of the University of Oviedo (GIFD: Fluid Mechanics Area and Hydraulic Engineering Area) owns 5 wind tunnels for Wind Engineering, Acoustic Engineering and Turbo-machinery Testing, as well as many others small wind tunnels for smoke visualization and teaching about boundary layers. Our Department also collaborates with the Department of Construction and Fabrication Engineering of the University of Oviedo (GICONSIME: Construction Engineering) which owns 1 Wind Tunnel for Wind Engineering (ceded by Fluid Mechanics Area and firstly re-constructed by JJCD, FPAR, MAM and ANM):
AE35-cWT
|
EB40-oWT
|
PIV25-cWT
|
EVE50-ablWT
|
DOC25-oWT
|
ENG-v3
*This WT is currently (2019-2021) out of service because it is being remodeled. It would need further re-calibration.

#formulawindy gathers all our work related to (but not only) Wind Tunnel tests (Aeroelasticity & Aerodynamics, Hydraulic Machinery, Wind Engineering, Pollutant Dispersion, Aeroacustics, even Water Tunnel tests included) and it is formed exclusively by Professors and Researchers of the Energy Departement and GIFD (Spanish Official Research Group) of the University of Oviedo.

EVE50-ablWT. Boundary layer wind tunnel, closed circuit.
WhyHydraulic 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.
|
HowThe main specifications are the dimensions of the test section, 2,25 m2, and a maximum operating speed about 50 m/s (power 180 kW).
|
What forThe circuit is formed by a closed ring of nearly 80 m long. The test chamber is 10 m long and it will allow us to study Atmospheric Boundary Layer phenomena (ABL).
