Laboratory for fluid dynamics research activities

> DOWNLOAD BROCHURE

Description

The Experimental Aerodynamics Laboratory is provided with different wind tunnels of various dimensions, typology and test regimes. The complete experimental equipment allows carrying out a wide range of tests.
The main plant is a closed circuit wind tunnel with a test section of 1.5m x 1m and a maximum wind velocity of 55m/s.
The experimental activity mainly includes pressure and force measurements, hot wire anemometry and particle image velocimetry (PIV).
Tests are carried out in various research fields, from basic fluid dynamics to industrial applications.
Large part of the laboratory activity is also carried out in the GVPM wind tunnel (www.windtunnel.polimi.it).
