New paper on our wind tunnel design and performance

 

We are happy to report that a paper describing the design and performance of our new wind tunnel has been published in Experiments in Fluids.  This paper outlines many of the innovative design features of this facility.  Congratulations to lab members Xiaozhou Fan and Matteo di Luca who are co-authors on the paper. along with our friend and colleague Mark Drela at MIT, who contributed immensely to the design. Our facility, with 1.2 x 1.2 meter test section, is a “scale model” for the new MIT Wright Brothers wind tunnel which is almost exactly two times larger and has many of the same innovative features.
