#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 out of service from two years ago, currently being remodeled.
|
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 the desired maximum operating speed, 40-50 m/s (power 180 kW).
|
What forThe circuit is formed by a closed ring of 31 m long. The test chamber is 10 m long and it will allow us to study Atmospheric Boundary Layer phenomena (ABL).
