Wind tunnel

The metrological equipment consists of

  • 3-component wind tunnel balance for measuring uplift/downthrust, resistance and breakdown torque
  • Laser Doppler Anemometer (LDA) system for measuring a velocity component (with 3-axis traversing device)

The measurement data are recorded and evaluated by computer.

Characteristics of the measuring section:

  • Diameter 750 mm
  • Length 1200 mm
  • Flow velocity: max. 45 m/s
