DNW-NWB (Low-Speed Wind Tunnel)

Description

Industrial wind tunnel for the low-speed domain with cutting edge technology and with capabilities for dynamic testing;

Typical tests:
– Database creation and configuration studies for aircraft, cars and trucks
– Engine integration
– Dynamic testing
– Air intake tests
– Air exhaust simulation
– Aeroacoustic investigations with microphone array techniques
